Cheeseburger Recipe

Directions for Cheeseburger

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef Patty

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

2. 2

   Form the Patty

   Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help it cook evenly.

3. 3

   Cook the Patty

   Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

   Flip the patties and place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patty is cooked to your desired doneness.

5. 5

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, cut the burger buns in half and toast them on a separate pan or grill until golden brown.

6. 6

   Assemble the Cheeseburger

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato. Add the cooked beef patty with melted cheese on top, followed by a tablespoon of house sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the cheeseburgers immediately with your choice of sides.
