Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly into a patty.
2
Season the patties with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
3
While the patties are cooking, toast the buns on the grill or in a toaster. Spread a layer of mayonnaise on the bottom bun, followed by a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and a cheese slice.
4
Once the patty is cooked, place it on top of the cheese slice. Add a dollop of ketchup on top of the patty and place the top bun on the burger.
