Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, divide the ground beef into four equal parts and shape them into burger patties. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

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

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or skillet. On the bottom half of each bun, layer the lettuce, tomato slices, cooked patties with melted cheese, sliced onions, and pickles. Drizzle with house sauce if desired and top with the other half of the bun.
