Cheeseburger Recipe

Directions to Prepare Cheeseburger

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef Patties

   In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties and place a slice of American cheese on each. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

3. 3

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, cut the burger buns in half and toast them on the skillet or grill until golden brown.

4. 4

   Assemble the Cheeseburgers

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, add lettuce (if using), the cooked patty with melted cheese, pickles, tomato (if using), ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the cheeseburgers immediately with your favorite sides.
