Form the mixture into patties, about 1 inch thick.

Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Cook patties on the grill or skillet for 4-5 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F.

In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

Toast burger buns on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.

Assemble the burgers by placing the patty on the bottom bun.

Top with lettuce and tomato slices.

Cover with the top bun and serve hot.
