Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form it into a patty shape.

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    While the patty is cooking, slice the burger bun in half. You can toast it lightly if desired.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of the bun. Place the cooked beef patty on top, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, and pickles. Finish with the top half of the bun.

    Serve the burger immediately with your choice of sides.
