    Form into 4 patties, each about 1 inch thick.
  3. 3
    Do not work the meat, or pack it when shaping the patties, with your hands.
  4. 4
    (Doing so makes the burgers less moist).

  6. 6
    Add the burgers and cook about 7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
  7. 7

  8. 8
    Remove the burgers from the pan when the cheese is melted, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  9. 9
    Top each patty with a tomato slice and piece of lettuce and serve on a bun.
