Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grill

    Season the Patty

    Season the Angus beef patty with salt and black pepper on both sides.

    Add Cheese

    Flip the patty and place a slice of American cheese on top. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patty reaches desired doneness.
