Classic Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into two patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the burgers are cooking, wash the lettuce and slice the tomato. Dice the raw onion as finely as you like.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread the special sauce on the bottom half of each burger bun. Place the cooked patty on top, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and diced raw onion. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
