Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to ensure seasoning is evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the seasoned beef into two equal portions and shape them into round patties that are slightly larger than the burger buns.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on top of each patty and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half. Optionally, you can toast the buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Start with the bottom half of the bun, add a lettuce leaf, place the cooked beef patty with melted cheese on top, add a slice of tomato, and finish with the top half of the bun.
