Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patty

    Shape the mixture into a small patty, about 1/4 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patty

    Preheat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Cook the patty for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese (optional)

    If using cheese, place a slice on top of the patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  5. 5

    Toast the Bun

    While the patty is cooking, toast the hamburger bun on a separate skillet or in a toaster.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Place the cooked patty on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Add ketchup, mustard, lettuce, and tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
