Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Mix well to distribute seasoning evenly.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the seasoned beef into two equal portions and form them into burger patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

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

  4. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover with a lid to melt.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly in a separate pan.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, tomato slices, onion rings, and pickles. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top.

  7. 7

    Add Condiments

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the top half of the bun, then close the burger.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
