Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, season 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 one side. Flip them, add a slice of American cheese on each patty, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, wash and slice the lettuce, tomato, and onion. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns if desired. On the bottom bun, layer the lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Place the two cheese-topped patties on top and cover with the top bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Beastly Burger hot with your favorite sides.
