Cooking the Patty
Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms. Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of American cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked through.

Toasting the Buns
