1
Prepare the Beef Patty
Season the Angus beef patty with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2
Cook the Patty
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patty for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip it and place the American cheese on top. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the patty is cooked to your desired doneness and the cheese is melted.
3
Toast the Bun
While the patty is cooking, lightly toast the burger bun on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
4
Assemble the Burger
Place the cooked beef patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Layer the lettuce, tomato slice, and pickles on top. Finish by placing the top half of the bun over the fillings.
5
Serve
Serve the classic burger with a side of french fries.
