Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 4 sesame seed burger buns
- 4 slices of American cheese
- Lettuce, shredded
- Tomato, sliced
- Pickles, sliced
- Onion, sliced
- Ketchup
- Mayonnaise

Instructions
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Form the ground beef into 4 equal patties, making a slight indentation in the center.
- Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper.
- Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and add a slice of cheese on top. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
- While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

- Top with the other half of the bun, serve immediately, and enjoy!
