Cheeseburger Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into 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, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to let it melt.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the cheese melts, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, a cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
