Cheeseburger Ingredients

Method

Cheeseburger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Shape it into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patty for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip it.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Place the slices of American cheese on top of the patty and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Toast the Bun

    While the cheese is melting, lightly toast the burger bun on the grill or in a toaster.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread the burger sauce on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Place the lettuce, cooked cheeseburger patty, pickles, onion, and tomato slice on top. Cover with the top half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the cheeseburger hot, with your choice of sides.
