Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently and form into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Bun

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce, then the cheesy patty, and finally, slices of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
