Burger Patties

Burger Assembly

Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until hot.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip the patties. Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.

Assemble the Burgers

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

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

  2. 6

    Add the Fixings

    On each bottom bun, layer a lettuce leaf, followed by a cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard.

  3. 7

    Complete the Burger

    Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately with your favorite side.
