1
Prepare the Burger Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix well and divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty.
2
Cook the Patties
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, place the burger patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
3
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty, allowing it to melt slightly.
4
Prepare Tomato
While the patties are cooking, slice the large tomato into thin slices.
5
Assemble the Burger
On each burger bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted Swiss cheese, and top with tomato slices. Add the top half of the bun to complete the burger.
6
Serve
Serve the Scrooge Burgers immediately with your choice of side.
