Instructions

Season the beef patties with salt and pepper. Cook them on a cast iron griddle over medium-high heat to your desired doneness. I cook them to medium, about 3 minutes per side. You can also grill them.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and allow them to rest, loosely covered in foil, for 5 minutes. While the meat is resting, assemble the remaining ingredients.
To assemble the "sandwiches," grab two plates. Place a cooked patty on each plate. Spread it with mustard (or mayo). On top of the mustard, layer the lettuce, onion, tomato, and cheese, and then top with another cooked patty. Serve immediately with extra napkins. :)

Notes

It's important to let the burgers rest for 5 minutes before serving them. This rest period will allow the juices to redistribute and settle, ensuring juicy burgers.
You can wrap the burger in several iceberg lettuce leaves for a less messy experience.
The USDA recommends cooking ground meats to an internal temperature of 160ºF.
You can pre-cook the burger patties and keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat them in the microwave before assembling the "sandwich." You can also freeze the cooked patties for up to three months. Thaw them overnight in the fridge before reheating them.
