Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

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

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Place the lettuce, cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, and onion slices on top. Cover with the top half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burgers hot with your choice of sides.
