Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patty

    Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that is approximately 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patty

    Place the patty on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the patty. Cover to melt the cheese.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 6

    Toast the Bun

    If desired, toast the burger bun on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Layer Ingredients

    On the bottom half of the bun, layer the lettuce, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard to taste.

  3. 8

    Complete the Burger

    Place the top half of the bun on the assembled burger. Serve immediately with fries or your favorite side dish.
