Method

Cooking the Patty

  1. 1

    Form the Patty

    Take 8 oz of ground beef and form it into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Place the patty on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

  3. 3

    Flip and Melt Cheese

    Flip the patty and cook for another 3-4 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the patty to let it melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 4

    Prepare the Bun

    Slice the burger bun in half and toast it lightly if desired.

  2. 5

    Add the Patty

    Once the patty is cooked and the cheese is melted, place the patty on the bottom half of the bun.

  3. 6

    Layer the Toppings

    Add the lettuce leaf, tomato slice, onion slice, and pickles on top of the patty.

  4. 7

    Finish the Burger

    Cover the burger with the top half of the bun. Press down gently to hold everything together.
