1
Prepare the Burger Patties
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined and form into two equal patties.
2
Cook the Patties
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and place a slice of local cheddar cheese on top. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.
3
Prepare the Buns
While the burgers are cooking, melt the butter in a separate skillet. Toast the burger buns in the skillet until golden brown.
4
Assemble the Cheeseburgers
On the bottom half of each bun, place a leaf of butter lettuce followed by a slice of local tomato. Place the cooked burger patty with melted cheese on top and finish with the top half of the bun.
