Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Gently form the ground beef into four equal-sized patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Grill the burgers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach the desired doneness.

During the last minute of cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill.

Place the grilled burgers on the toasted buns and top with your desired toppings.

Serve the grilled burgers immediately.
