Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Beef Patty
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into two equal-sized patties.
Grill the Patties
Place the beef patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
Toast the Buns
While the patties are cooking, cut the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill until golden.
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each bun, place a leaf of lettuce, followed by the grilled patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and then the top half of the bun.
Serve
Serve your beef burger hot with your choice of sides.
