3 slices Pickles

Method

Cheeseburger Preparation

Prepare the Patties

In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.

Cook the Patties

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts and the patties reach desired doneness.

Toast the Buns

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

Assemble the Burger

On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, pickles, and onion. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then place the top half of the bun on.

Serve

Serve the cheeseburgers immediately with your favorite side dishes.
