Cheeseburger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of the toasted bun, layer the lettuce, cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slice, onion slice, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the cheeseburger hot with your favorite sides.
