The Plain Jane Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patty

   In a bowl, combine ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently and shape into two equally sized patties.

2. 2

   Cook the Patty

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

3. 3

   Toast the Buns

   During the last minute of cooking, place the burger buns cut-side down on the grill or skillet to toast them lightly.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burger

   Place the cooked patty on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Top with lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced onion, and pickles. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then place the top half of the bun on.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve immediately with your favorite side.
