Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into two 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 or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, split the burger buns and toast them on the grill or skillet until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
