Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patty

    Shape the mixture into a round patty approximately 3/4 inch thick.

Cooking the Patty

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patty

    Place the patty on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place the cheddar cheese slice on top of the patty and cover until melted.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Bun

    While the patty is cooking, slice the hamburger bun in half and toast it lightly if desired.

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of the bun, layer the lettuce leaves, tomato slice, onion slices, and pickles. Place the cooked cheeseburger patty on top.

  3. 8

    Add Condiments

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the top half of the bun, then close the burger.
