Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet to about 360 °F (around 182 °C).
Use ground beef with a 75/25 fat ratio, ideally twice ground to ensure the meat is pink and well mixed with the fat.
Measure out a portion of about 3.5 ounces (approximately 100 g) of ground beef using an ice cream scoop.
Form the beef into a ball, then place it onto the hot skillet and press straight down once to create a flat, round patty.
Cook the patty for about 20 seconds until the underside starts to steam and changes color.
Lightly season the patty with salt and Lowry's seasoned salt during cooking, not before.
Watch for small bubbles forming on the patty and the color gradually changing from pink to brown, indicating it’s ready to flip.
Flip the patty and immediately cover it with American cheese to melt quickly, using a lid or a specialized melter.
Toast the burger bun in a toaster until golden brown.
Spread a thin layer of mustard on the bun, add two pickle slices, and some thinly sliced raw onion.
