Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patty

    Divide the mixture into one equal portion and shape it into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of the patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.

Cooking the Patty

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patty

    Place the formed patty on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

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

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Toast the Bun

    Optional: Toast the burger bun halves on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom half of the bun. Add the lettuce leaves, then place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top.

  3. 8

    Finish Assembly

    Top the patty with sliced tomato and pickles. Place the top half of the bun on the burger to complete.
