Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and shred the lettuce, slice the tomato, and prepare the pickles by slicing them if not pre-sliced.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Form the Patties

    Divide the seasoned ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and cover briefly to melt the cheese.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer some shredded lettuce, a slice of tomato, and pickles. Place the cooked burger patty with melted cheese on top, followed by ketchup and mustard to taste. Finally, add the top half of the bun.
