Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

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

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties 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 cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

4. 4

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom bun, layer the lettuce, cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slice, onion slices, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
