In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese during the last minute of cooking and cover with a lid until cheese melts.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl.
To assemble each burger, place one large leaf of lettuce on a plate, add a cooked patty with melted cheese on top, followed by slices of tomato, red onion, and pickles.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise and mustard sauce over the toppings.
Finish each burger by wrapping another lettuce leaf on top.
Serve immediately while they are nice and warm.
