Cheeseburger Ingredients

Method

Cheeseburger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently and form into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and place a slice of American cheese on top. Cook for another 3 minutes or until the cheese melts and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Prep the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked patty on top, followed by lettuce, pickles, and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the cheeseburgers immediately with your favorite side dish.
