Method
Divide the beef mince into four portions and shape into patties slightly wider than the buns.
Season the patties generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a griddle pan over high heat and cook the patties for 3 minutes on the first side.
Flip the patties, top each with a slice of American cheese and cook for a further 3 minutes until the cheese has melted and a meat thermometer inserted into the centre reads 71°C.
Toast the cut sides of the burger buns on the griddle for 1 minute until lightly golden.
Build each burger with lettuce, tomato, the cheeseburger patty, pickles, ketchup and mustard, then close with the top bun.
