Burger Patties

Burger Assembly

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the middle of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure it's hot before adding the patties.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties and place two slices of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

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

  2. 6

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a cooked cheeseburger patty, a slice of tomato, a slice of onion, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
