Burger Assembly

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Forming the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, making them slightly larger than the hamburger buns.

  2. 2

    Cooking the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties over.

  3. 3

    Adding Cheese

    After flipping the patties, place 2 slices of American cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burgers

  1. 4

    Preparing the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the hamburger buns in half. If desired, toast the buns on the grill or in a toaster for added texture.

  2. 5

    Layering Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a cooked patty with melted cheese. Add 2 tomato slices and 3 pickle slices on top of each patty.

  3. 6

    Final Touches

    Drizzle ketchup and mustard to taste on the top half of the buns. Place the top half of the buns on the assembled burgers to complete.
