Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined, then divide into two equal portions and shape them into 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

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover with a lid to melt the cheese.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, toast the hamburger 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, tomato, and onion. Place the cheese-topped patty on top, then add ketchup and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries or a salad.
