Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patty

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then form the mixture into a patty.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on top of the patty to melt.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger bun lightly if desired. Place the cooked burger patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of the bun. Top with pickle slices, and then place the top half of the bun on.
