Cheeseburger Ingredients

Method

Cheeseburger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Shape the seasoned beef into two equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt the cheese.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Drizzle with ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
