Cheeseburger Recipe

Cheeseburger Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef Patty

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center with your thumb.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. Add cheese slices on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

4. 4

   Prepare the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and lightly toast them on the grill or in the toaster.

5. 5

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Wash and dry the lettuce. Slice the tomato into thick rounds.

6. 6

   Assemble the Cheeseburger

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, ketchup, mustard, and pickles as desired. Finish with the top half of the bun.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the cheeseburgers immediately while hot with your favorite sides.
