Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, adding cheese on top during the last minute of cooking if desired.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer the lettuce, cooked beef patty, pickles, and slices of heirloom tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with a side of fries.
