Classic Burger Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef Patty

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

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

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

3. 3

   Prepare the Vegetables

   While the patties are cooking, wash and slice the tomato and onion. Rinse the lettuce leaves.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burger

   Place a cooked patty on the bottom half of each burger bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, onion, and any optional condiments like ketchup or mustard. Place the top half of the bun on each burger.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
