Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix until well combined, then form into two equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, place the patties in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side.

  3. 3

    Add the Cheese

    Flip the patties, and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, you can toast the hamburger buns in a separate pan, cut side down, until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato. Add the cooked patty with melted cheese, then top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
