Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Patties

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground prime beef with salt and black pepper. Gently mix until just combined. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

2

Grill the Burgers

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until they reach your desired doneness.

3

Toast the Buns

While the burgers are cooking, place the burger buns on the grill, cut side down, and toast for about 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

4

Assemble the Burger

Once the burgers are cooked, place each patty on a toasted bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, and mustard as desired.

5

Serve

Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
