Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into 4 equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

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

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, split the burger buns and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Place each cooked patty on a toasted bun. Top with lettuce, tomato (sliced), ketchup, and mustard. Place the top bun on each burger.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burgers warm with your favorite sides.
