Cheeseburger Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into 4 equal-sized patties, about ¾ inch thick.

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

3. 3

   Add Cheese

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

4. 4

   Toast the Buns

   While the cheese is melting, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a separate pan until golden brown.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burgers

   On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, a cheeseburger patty, tomato slice, onion slice, and pickles. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.

6. 6

   Serve

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