Bar & Lounge Food Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix well and form into four equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Melt the Cheese

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, a cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, onion slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burgers hot with your choice of side.
