Steps
Preparation
Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and form them into patties about 1.5-2 cm (0.6-0.8 inches) thick. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Slice the tomato, red onion, and dill pickles. Prepare the lettuce leaves.
Cook Patties
Heat a little olive oil in a large skillet or on a grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness. In the last minute, place a slice of cheese on each patty and let it melt.
Toast Buns
While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast the cut sides in the skillet or on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden and crispy.
Assemble Burger
Spread ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise on the top and bottom halves of the buns to your liking. Place lettuce, tomato slices, the cheesy beef patty, red onion rings, and dill pickles on the bottom bun. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
Extra Tips
► Don't press the patties while cooking, as they will lose their juiciness!
► Toast the inside of the buns in a pan or on the grill for extra crispiness.
► Experiment with different types of cheese or sauces to find your favorite combination!
