Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, until browned. Flip the patties and place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers reach your desired doneness.

Prepare the Buns
Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Assemble the Burgers
On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with tomato slices, onion slices, pickles, and any desired condiments such as ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise. Place the top half of the bun on each burger.
