Method

Preparing the Patty

  1. 1

    Form the Patty

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into a patty about ¾ inch thick.

  2. 2

    Grill the Patty

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the beef patty for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of grilling, place a slice of American cheese on top of the patty to melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 4

    Prepare the Bun

    Slice the burger bun in half and toast it lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Add Condiments

    Spread mustard and ketchup on the bottom half of the toasted bun.

  3. 6

    Layer the Toppings

    Place the grilled patty with melted cheese on top of the condiments. Add onion, lettuce, tomato, and pickle slices on top of the patty.

  4. 7

    Finish the Burger

    Place the top half of the bun over the toppings, gently pressing down to hold everything together.
