Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them and add a slice of cheese on top. Cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese melts and the burger reaches your desired doneness.

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of side.
