Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef with salt and black pepper. Shape the mixture into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat 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

    Toast the Buns

    During the last minute of cooking, place the burger buns on the grill or skillet, cut side down, to toast them lightly.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Place a cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun. Add lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese if desired. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Sides

    Fry the French fries according to package instructions. If serving fresh fruit or Caesar salad, prepare them accordingly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the burgers alongside the fries, fresh fruit, or Caesar salad.
