Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat to about 375°F (190°C).
Take 1 lb of ground beef and gently divide it into four equal portions. Shape into patties about ¾ inch thick.
Generously season both sides of each patty with salt and pepper.
Carefully place the seasoned patties onto the preheated grill or skillet. Cook undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes.
Flip the patties and cook for another 4-5 minutes, adding cheese in the last minute.
Toast your burger buns on the grill or in a separate skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Assemble your burgers with cooked patties, lettuce, tomato, onion, and condiments.
Cap each burger with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
