Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center of each.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked through.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Cheeseburgers

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add tomato slices, onion rings, pickles, ketchup, and mustard as desired. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the cheeseburgers immediately with your choice of sides.
