Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties that are slightly larger than the buns.

  3. 3

    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. Add a slice of American cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaf. Slice the tomato into thick slices.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Pickles

    Dice the Arabic pickles into small pieces if they are not already. Set aside.

Assembling the Cheeseburger

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    If desired, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 7

    Build the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, followed by the lettuce, tomato slices, and diced Arabic pickles. Drizzle mustard on top before placing the top half of the bun.
