Hot Hamburger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a bowl, combine ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix well and form into two patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the hamburger buns in a separate pan or under the broiler until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Hamburger

    On the bottom half of each bun, add sliced onion, then place the cooked patty with melted cheese, followed by ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
