Method

Preparing the Patty

  1. 1

    Form the Patty

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat. Form into a round patty, approximately 5oz in weight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patty on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patty and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place the slice of cheddar cheese on top of the patty and close the lid of the grill or cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 4

    Prepare the Bun

    While the patty is cooking, toast the burger bun lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Add the Patty

    Once the cheese has melted, carefully remove the patty from the grill and place it on the bottom half of the toasted bun.

  3. 6

    Add Toppings

    Layer the lettuce leaf, tomato slices, and pickles on top of the melted cheese. Drizzle ketchup and mustard over the toppings.

  4. 7

    Finish the Burger

    Top with the other half of the bun, press down gently, and your cheeseburger is ready to serve.
