Classic cheeseburgers keep things simple with seasoned ground beef, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. The patties develop a browned crust while the cheese melts over top.
The fresh toppings add crunch and balance to every bite.

1. Divide ground beef into evenly sized loose portions, about 3–4 ounces each. Do not overwork the meat.
2. Heat a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot.
3. Place a portion of beef in the skillet. Immediately press down firmly with a spatula to create a thin patty. Season the top with salt and black pepper.
4. Cook without moving for 2–3 minutes until edges are browned and crispy.
5. Flip and cook an additional 1–2 minutes. Internal temperature should reach at least 160°F.
6. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top during the last minute of cooking and allow it to melt.
7. Lightly toast hamburger buns in the same skillet for 30–60 seconds until warm and slightly golden.
8. Assemble burgers with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Serve immediately while hot.
