Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the meat into two equal portions and shape them into 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 the cheese.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half. Lightly toast them on the grill or skillet, if desired.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cheeseburger patty, sliced tomato, and onion. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.
