Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix well until the seasoning is evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

    Divide the seasoned beef into four equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty, about ¾ inch thick.

  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 cook for another 4-5 minutes until they reach your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

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

  5. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the hamburger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

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

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the hamburgers immediately while hot with a side of your favorite snacks or fries.
