Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add cooking oil. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns if desired. Place the cooked beef patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of the bun, followed by lettuce, tomato, and onion. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the cheeseburgers immediately with your favorite sides!
