Classic Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.

  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 for medium doneness. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty, tomato slices, and onion slices. Add ketchup and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your choice of sides like fries or salad.
