Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Patties

In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form them into patties.

2

Cook the Patties

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

3

Add Cheese

Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to let it melt.

4

Toast the Buns

While the cheese is melting, you can toast the burger buns in the skillet for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

5

Assemble the Burger

On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, then the cheesy patty, followed by slices of tomato and onion. Top with the other half of the bun.

6

Serve

Serve immediately with your favorite condiments and sides.
