Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined and form into 4 equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

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

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

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

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, toast the corn-dusted buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, sliced tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the cheeseburgers warm with your favorite sides.
