• •Lettuce

Steps

1. 1Divide ground beef into portions and shape each into a patty slightly wider than the bun, pressing a shallow dimple into the center so it cooks flat.
2. 2Season both sides generously with salt and pepper just before cooking.
3. 3Heat a skillet or grill over high heat and cook the patties for about 3 minutes per side for medium doneness, flipping only once.
4. 4Place a slice of cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover briefly so it melts.
5. 5Toast the cut sides of the burger buns on the hot skillet until lightly golden.
6. 6Spread condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise on the toasted buns.
7. 7Layer lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles onto the bottom bun, then place the cheese-topped patty on top.
8. 8Close the burger with the top bun and serve immediately while hot.
