Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the beef into four equal portions and form them into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them and add a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion into rings. Wash the lettuce leaves and have the pickles ready.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster. Place a cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun, then layer with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Add ketchup and mustard as desired. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a salad.
