Ingredients

1 sesame seed hamburger bun
1/4 lb (113g) ground beef (80/20)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 slices tomato
2 slices dill pickle
2 leaves lettuce
1 slice onion (optional, but typical for plain)

Instructions

Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat.
Divide ground beef into a patty slightly larger than the bun, season with salt and pepper.
Grill patty for 4 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until desired doneness.
Toast the bun cut-side down on the grill for about 30 seconds.
Assemble burger: bottom bun, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion (if using), patty, top bun.
Serve immediately.

Tips

For a classic flame-grilled taste, use a charcoal or gas grill.
If you prefer a saucier burger, add ketchup and mayo (but that would make it not plain).
