This will melt the cheese

Split the burger buns in half and toast them on the grill until they are just barely crispy while the burgers are cooking

Put mayonnaise, ketchup, and yellow mustard in a small bowl and mix them together to make the burger sauce

Spread a lot of burger sauce on the bottom half of each bun before putting the burgers together

Put a lettuce leaf on top of the sauce, then the cooked burger patty with cheese on top of that
