Burgerfest Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, then form into 4 equal patties.

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

3. 3

   Toast the Buns

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

4. 4

   Assemble the Burgers

   On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, a cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, onion slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides such as fries or a salad.
