Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into two equal-sized 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

    Add Cheese

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

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On each bun bottom, place a lettuce leaf, then the patty with melted cheese, followed by a slice of tomato and onion. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the bun lid.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite side dish.
