Cheeseburger Recipe

Cheeseburger Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef Patties

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

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center with your thumb to prevent puffing while cooking.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each patty for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

   In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.

5. 5

   Toast the Buns

   While the cheese is melting, cut the burger buns in half and toast them on the grill or in a toaster.

6. 6

   Prepare the Toppings

   Slice the tomato and onion into rings. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves.

7. 7

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, onion rings, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

8. 8

   Serve

   Serve the cheeseburgers immediately with your choice of sides.
