Beef Burger Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Burger Patties

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, then form into two equal patties.

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. If using cheese, add a slice on top of the patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

3. 3

   Prepare the Vegetables

   While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion. Rinse and dry the lettuce leaves.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burger

   Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster. Place the cooked patty on the bottom half of the bun, add lettuce, tomato slices, and onion slices, then top with the other half of the bun.

   Serve

   Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a salad.
