Cheeseburger Ingredients

Method

Cheeseburger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them over and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Cheeseburger

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot with your choice of side.
