Instructions:

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat.

2. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

5. If using cheese, add a slice to each patty during the last minute of cooking.
