Prepare the patties by taking the ground beef and forming it into evenly sized patties.

Season each patty with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Place the patties on the grill grates and let them cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for a medium cooked burger.

While the burgers are cooking, cut the burger buns in half and lightly toast them on the grill for a minute or two.

Place a cheese slice on top of each patty a minute or so before they're done cooking to allow the cheese to melt.

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun, then add a slice of tomato and a few onion rings.

Carefully use grilling tongs to transfer the patties onto the prepared buns.

Add your favorite condiments, such as ketchup, mustard, or mayo, based on personal preference.
