Cheeseburger Ingredients

Method

Cheeseburger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently and form into two equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium, adding a slice of cheddar cheese on top during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them 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 (sliced), onion (sliced), and the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add ketchup and mustard as desired, then top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the cheeseburgers immediately with your choice of fries on the side.
