Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Patties

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

2

Cook the Patties

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

3

Add Cheese

Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.

4

Toast the Buns

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

5

Assemble the Burger

Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Place the lettuce, cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, onion slices, and pickles on top. Finally, cover with the other half of the bun.

6

Serve

Serve the burger immediately with your choice of side.
