Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patty

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C), about 4-5 minutes per side.

  2. 2

    Add the Cheese

    Place the American cheese slice on top of the burger patty in the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.

  3. 3

    Toast the Bun

    While the cheese is melting, lightly toast the burger bun in a separate pan or on a grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Place the cooked burger patty with melted cheese onto the bottom half of the toasted bun. Add your choice of toppings such as ketchup, mustard, pickles, lettuce, and tomato slices.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Top with the other half of the bun and serve with your choice of kids' side such as fries, fruit, or veggies.
