Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined, but do not overwork the meat. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them and cook for another 4-5 minutes 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 top of each patty and cover to melt the cheese.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, you can toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf on each, followed by the cheesy patty, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy!
