Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then form into 4 equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each patty for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Buns and Toppings

    While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion. Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster if desired.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, onion slices, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your classic cheeseburger!
