Method

Prepare the Beef Patty

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Form the mixture into a large patty, about 1-inch thick.

  2. 2

    Grill the Patty

    Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the beef patty on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

Prepare the Toppings

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato and onion into thin rings. Set aside.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Condiments

    In small bowls, place the mayonnaise and ketchup for easy access when assembling the burger.

Assemble the Whopper

  2. 6

    Serve immediately with your favorite side, such as fries or a salad.
