Burger Patty Preparation
- 1
Form the Patties
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat. Divide the mixture into four equal portions (about 1/2 pound each) and form each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cook the Patties
Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip. Top each patty with a slice of American cheese and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.
