Cheeseburger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two 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 one side, then flip them.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Place a slice of your choice of cheese on each patty after flipping. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Place the lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles on the bottom half of each bun. Add the cooked patties with melted cheese on top.

  6. 6

    Finish with Condiments

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the top half of the bun, then place it on top of the assembled burger. Serve immediately.
