Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and divide into two equal portions, shaping each into a patty.

  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, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly browned.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place lettuce, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese. Add sliced tomato, ketchup, and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the cheeseburgers immediately with your choice of sides.
