1
Prepare the Burger Patty
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.
2
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Add cheese slices during the last minute of cooking to melt.
3
Prepare the Buns
While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
4
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty, a slice of tomato, and any additional condiments like ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
5
Serve
Serve the burgers immediately with a side of fries.
