Beef Burger Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a bowl, mix 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

   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

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

4. 4

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, cut the burger buns in half and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burgers

   Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, add the cooked patty with melted cheese, then top with tomato and onion slices. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, and finish with the top half of the bun.
