Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook 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 cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, toast the burger buns in another skillet or under the broiler until golden.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
