The Burger Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Form the Patties

   In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form into patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

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 and cook for another 3-4 minutes. In the last minute of cooking, place the cheese slices on top to melt.

3. 3

   Prepare the Buns

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

4. 4

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, tomato slices, and onion slices. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, followed by pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Close with the top half of the bun.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a salad.
