Equipment
- Griddle or large skillet
- Spatula
- Burger press (optional)
Ingredients
- Ground beef (preferably 80/20 blend for optimal juiciness)
- Salt and pepper

- Cheese slices (American cheese works well)
- Toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, etc.)

Instructions
- Heat a sizable skillet or griddle to medium-high temperature. Make equal pieces of the ground meat and roll them into balls.
- Sprinkle little salt and pepper on each ball.
- After putting a meat ball onto the heated griddle, quickly flatten it using a spatula to form a thin patty.
- Fry for two to three minutes, or until the bottom is crispy and browned.

- On the griddle, toast the hamburger buns.
- Place the patties on the buns and top with your preferred condiments and toppings to assemble the burgers.
