Burger Assembly

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty approximately 3/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill/skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of your chosen cheese on each patty to melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the hamburger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, slices of tomato, pickles, and condiments (ketchup and mustard) as desired.

  3. 6

    Finish the Burger

    Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
