Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

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

  3. 3

    Add the Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to allow the cheese to melt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Place the cooked patties on the bottom half of the burger buns. Top each patty with lettuce, tomato, and onion slices. Cover with the top half of the buns.

  5. 5

    Serve with Ranch

    Serve the cheeseburgers with a side of ranch dressing for dipping.
