Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Patties

In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the beef into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

2

Cook the Patties

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

3

Add the Cheese

In the last minute of cooking, place two slices of cheddar cheese and two slices of American cheese on each patty. Cover the grill or skillet to melt the cheese.

4

Toast the Buns

While the cheese is melting, slice the burger buns in half and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

5

Assemble the Burger

On the bottom half of each bun, add lettuce, a slice of tomato, and onion. Place the cheesy patties on top, followed by pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

6

Serve

Serve the double cheeseburgers warm with your favorite sides.
