Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 slices American cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 4 slices tomato
- 4 slices onion

- 4 tbsp yellow mustard
- 4 dill pickle slices
Instructions
- Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape into patties slightly larger than the buns. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness.
- In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
- Toast buns on the griddle until lightly golden.
- Assemble burgers: bottom bun, lettuce, tomato, patty with cheese, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, top bun.
Tips
- For extra juiciness, press a small indent in the center of each patty before cooking.
- Keep patties warm in a low oven while toasting buns.
- Customize with your favorite toppings like bacon or jalapeños.
