Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Mix gently and form into 4 equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they reach the desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half. Optionally, toast them on the grill or skillet until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Add lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, pickles, and then place the cooked patties on top. Finish with the top half of the buns.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
