Cheeseburger Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Beef Patties
In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal patties.
Cook the Patties
Heat the cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.
Add Cheese
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
Prepare the Buns
While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on a separate skillet if desired.
Assemble the Cheeseburger
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer the lettuce, followed by the cooked beef patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, and onion slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve
Serve the cheeseburgers hot with your favorite condiments and sides.
