Cheeseburger Recipe

Cheeseburger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef Patty

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and cook for another 3 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

   During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover the grill or skillet to melt the cheese.

5. 5

   Toast the Buns

   While the cheese is melting, slice the burger buns in half and lightly toast them on the grill or in a toaster.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked cheeseburger patty, a slice of tomato, onion slices, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the cheeseburgers immediately with your choice of sides.
