Cheeseburger Ingredients

Method

Cheeseburger Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the meat into two equal portions and form each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center of each.

  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.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    After flipping the patties, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patty is cooked to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cheeseburger patty, onion slices, and tomato slice. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the cheeseburgers immediately with your favorite sides.
