Burger Patties

Cheese

Buns and Toppings

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Divide the mixture into three equal portions and form each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place two slices of American cheese, two slices of cheddar cheese, and two slices of Swiss cheese on each patty. Cover the grill or skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt.

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 4

    Slice the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion into thin rings. Rinse the lettuce leaves and pat dry.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

    If desired, lightly toast the sesame seed burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 6

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a cheeseburger patty. Top with tomato slices, onion rings, pickles, and your choice of ketchup and mustard. Finally, place the top half of the bun on each burger.
