Method
Preparing the Burger Patties
- 1
Form the Patties
In a mixing bowl, take the ground beef and season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the beef into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cook the Patties
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until they reach your desired doneness. Place a slice of American cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking, covering the skillet to help the cheese melt.
