Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cooking the Burger Patty

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until hot.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover with a lid to help melt the cheese.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Bun

    Toast the burger bun on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Layer Toppings

    On the bottom half of the toasted bun, layer the lettuces, followed by the cooked cheeseburger patty, tomato slices, onion slices, pickles, and any condiments (ketchup and mustard) as desired.

  3. 8

    Complete the Burger

    Place the top half of the bun on the assembled burger. Cut in half if desired, and serve immediately.
