Steps
1. Season the beef patty with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
3. In the last minute of cooking, place the cheddar cheese on top of the patty to melt.
4. While the patty is cooking, lightly toast the hamburger bun in the skillet until golden.
5. Assemble your burger: spread mayonnaise and ketchup on the bottom bun, place the lettuce, followed by the cheesy patty, tomato slices, pickles, and finally the top bun.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy your classic cheeseburger!
