How to Make a Cheeseburger

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C).
Season the ground beef in a bowl with salt and pepper. Form it into four 1-inch thick patties, making a small indent in the center of each to prevent bulging.
Grill the patties for about 4 minutes on one side. When flipping, add the sharp cheddar cheese on top to melt during the last minute.
Toast brioche buns cut-side down on the grill until golden brown.
Assemble your burgers. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom buns, layer on lettuce, tomato slices, cheese-topped patty, red onion, dill pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Finish with the top bun.
Serve immediately while hot and cheese is gooey.
