Cheeseburger Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties about ¾ inch thick.

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the desired doneness is reached.

3. 3

   Prepare the Veggies

   While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato into thick slices and wash the lettuce leaves.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burger

   Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or skillet. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and your favorite condiments (ketchup and mustard). Top with the other half of the bun.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the cheeseburgers hot with a side of fries or fruit.
