Cheeseburger Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide it into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Grill or pan-fry the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on top of each patty to melt.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

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

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread some special sauce on the bottom half of the bun. Add lettuce, followed by the cheeseburger patty, sliced tomato, onion, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve with Fries

    Serve the cheeseburgers hot with a side of fries.
