Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, season the Angus ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the beef into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until cooked to your preference.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and cover the skillet or grill to melt the cheese.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the burgers are cooking, slice the tomato and onion. Wash the lettuce leaf.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns lightly if desired. Place the lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, then add the tomato and onion slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the All American Burger hot with your favorite sides.
