Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash and slice the tomato. Rinse the lettuce and pat dry. Slice the pickles if they are whole.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate the seasonings evenly.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Form the Patties

    Divide the seasoned ground beef into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until cooked to your preference.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

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

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, layer the lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top.

  2. 7

    Add Condiments

    Spread ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise on the top half of the burger bun, then place it on top of the assembled burger to complete.
