Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal-sized 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 level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Melt the Cheese

    If using cheese, place a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster. Layer the lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles on the bottom bun. Place the cooked patty on top and cover with the top bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the cheeseburgers with your choice of sides, and enjoy!
