Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patty

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into a round patty, about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patty for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Flip the patty and place a slice of cheese on top. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Toast the Bun

    While the burger is cooking, toast the burger bun on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Cheeseburger

    Place the cooked burger patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Add lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the cheeseburger immediately with your choice of sides.
