Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into round patties.

  2. 2

    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, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other 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.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Bun

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Add Lettuce and Tomato

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer the lettuce leaves and slices of tomato.

  3. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Place the cooked cheeseburger patty on top of the lettuce and tomato, then add pickles, ketchup, and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.
