Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined and form into 4 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 level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, onion slices, and pickles. Add ketchup and mustard to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
