Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into 4 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 3-4 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 American 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 Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer lettuce, tomato slices (sliced), onion slices (sliced), and the cheeseburger patty. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the cheeseburgers immediately with your favorite side.
