Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into two equal patties, each weighing about half a pound.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, adding cheese during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  3. 3

    Toast the Rolls

    While the burgers are cooking, slice the burger rolls and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    On each toasted roll, place a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a slice of onion, and the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add bacon or sautéed mushrooms if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Top with the other half of the roll. Serve immediately with your choice of side.
