Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into two equal-sized patties.

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until your desired level of doneness.

3. 3

   Add Cheese (optional)

   If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

4. 4

   Toast the Buns

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

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   Place the cooked patties on the bottom half of the toasted buns. Top with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, and mustard.

6. 6

   Serve

   Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
