Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined, but do not overwork the meat. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

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

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, wash and slice the tomato and onion. Rinse the lettuce leaves and set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Once the patties are cooked, place each patty on a bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, and onion slices. Add ketchup and mustard to taste. Cover with the top half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of side dishes.
