1
Form the Patty
Take the fresh ground beef and form it into a round patty about 3/4 inch thick. Ensure it is evenly shaped.
2
Season the Patty
Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over both sides of the patty for added flavor.

3
Preheat the Grill or Skillet
Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
4
Cook the Patty
Place the patty on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium doneness.
5
Add Cheese (Optional)
If using cheese, place a slice on top of the patty during the last minute of cooking to let it melt.

6
Prepare the Bun
While the patty is cooking, slice the burger bun in half and toast lightly on the grill or skillet if desired.
7
Add Toppings
On the bottom half of the bun, place the lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty, then add the tomato slice, onion rings, and pickle slices.
8
Complete the Burger
Place the top half of the bun over the toppings and press down gently.
