1
Shape the Beef
In a large bowl, take the 4 lb of Certified Black Angus beef and gently shape it into one large patty, about 1 inch thick. Be careful not to overwork the meat to keep it tender.
2
Season the Patty
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly over both sides of the beef patty. This will enhance the flavor of the burger.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet to medium-high heat. Ensure it’s hot enough to create a nice sear on the patty.
4
Cook the Patty
Place the beef patty on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms. Flip the patty and continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes on the other side for medium doneness.
5
Add Cheese (Optional)
If using, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the patty during the last minute of cooking. Close the grill lid or cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

6
Prepare the Buns
While the patty is cooking, cut the burger buns in half. You can toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster if desired.
7
Layer the Ingredients
On the bottom half of each bun, place a leaf of lettuce followed by a slice of tomato. Then, place the cooked burger patty on top.
8
Add Condiments
Add ketchup and mustard to the top half of the bun according to your taste.
9
Complete the Burger
Place the top half of the bun on the burger and press down gently. Your Kid Burger is ready to serve!
