Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    In a large bowl, season the ground sirloin with salt and black pepper to taste. Form the meat into two equal-sized patties.

  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 them and add a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet. Place the cooked patties on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Place the top half of the bun over the toppings.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
