Cheeseburger Ingredients

Method

Cheeseburger Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with 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 and cover to melt the cheese.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the cheese melts, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom bun, add lettuce, tomato, and onion slices, then place the cheeseburger patty on top. Finally, add the top bun.
