Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip them.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    After flipping, place a slice of American cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the hamburger buns in half and lightly toast them if desired.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each bun, add a cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with ketchup, mustard, pickles, and sliced onions. Place the top half of the bun on each burger.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the cheeseburgers hot with your favorite sides.
