Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds ground beef, preferably chuck
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 ounces cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, sliced 1/4 inch thick
4 hamburger buns
2 tomatoes (12 ounces), sliced
8 leaves Bibb lettuce (1 small head)
1 small red onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Heat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Season meat with salt and pepper, mix very lightly, and shape into four patties. Grill hamburgers 4 to 6 minutes per side for rare and 9 to 11 minutes for well done. If making cheeseburgers, lay cheese slices on top of the hamburgers after they have been flipped.
  • Serve immediately on buns (toasted, if desired), topped with tomatoes, lettuce, and onion slices.
