Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form it into two equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to let the cheese melt.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, split the burger buns and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Cheeseburger

    Place the cooked patties with melted cheese on the bottom half of each bun. Add lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, and mustard as desired. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the cheeseburgers hot and enjoy!
