Prepare the Patties

Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Form the Patties
Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that is about ¾-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Place the formed patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patty reaches your desired doneness.
