Burger Patty

Bun and Toppings

Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about ¾ inch thick.

  3. 3

    Grill the Patties

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the meat is cooked to your desired doneness.

Assemble the Cheeseburger

  1. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster if desired.

  2. 5

    Add the Toppings

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf. Slice the tomato and onion into rings and layer them on top of the lettuce.

  3. 6

    Add the Patty

    Place the cooked cheeseburger patty on top of the vegetables.

  4. 7

    Finish with Condiments

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the top half of the bun. Place the top half of the bun over the assembled burger.
