Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add cooking oil. Once hot, place the patties in the skillet or on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip them over.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    After flipping the patties, place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Veggies

    While the patties are cooking, wash and slice the lettuce, tomato, and red onion.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each potato roll. Add the cooked patty with melted cheese, followed by slices of tomato, red onion, and a few pickle chips. Top with the other half of the roll.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite side dishes.
