Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until seasonings are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center with your thumb.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C). If using charcoal, ensure it's glowing red and covered with ash.

  4. 4

    Grill the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of grilling, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, cut the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a leaf of lettuce, followed by the grilled patty with melted cheese.

  8. 8

    Add Toppings

    Top the patty with slices of tomato and onion. Drizzle ketchup and mustard to taste before placing the top half of the bun.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Serve the cheeseburgers immediately with your favorite side dishes.
