Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the patties

    In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the patties

    Heat 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 each cheese type (American, Swiss, Cheddar) on the patties to melt.

  4. 4

    Toast the buns

    While the cheese is melting, 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 cheese patty, two slices of tomato, pickles, and blue cheese crumbles. Add ketchup and mustard as desired, then top with the other half of the bun.
