Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a bowl, gently form the ground beef into a patty, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patty for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned, then flip. Place a slice of American cheese on top and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patty is cooked through.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the patty is cooking, slice the onion and wash the lettuce leaves.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of the burger bun, spread the secret sauce. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, followed by the sliced onions and lettuce. Finish with the top half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot, with additional secret sauce on the side if desired.
