Cheeseburger Recipe

Burger Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, making a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burger reaches your desired doneness.

3. 3

   Prepare the Buns and Toppings

   While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster. Slice the tomato and onion into rings.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burgers

   Place a cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Place the top half of the bun over the assembled toppings.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the cheeseburgers immediately with your favorite side dishes.
