Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patty

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into a patty, about 8 oz.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until desired doneness is reached.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger bun if desired. Place the cooked patty on the bottom half of the bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and onion slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the burger immediately with your choice of sides.
