Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side 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

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or skillet.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Place the cooked patties on the bottom half of the buns. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, ketchup, and mustard. Cover with the top half of the buns.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of side dishes.
