Cheeseburger Recipe

Cheeseburger Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined.

2. 2

   Shape the Patties

   Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty, about ¾ inch thick.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

   Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the patty is cooked to your desired doneness.

5. 5

   Prepare the Buns

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

6. 6

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a leaf of lettuce, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add tomato slices, onion slices, and condiments like ketchup and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the cheeseburgers immediately while hot with your choice of sides.
