Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape them into round patties, slightly larger than the buns to allow for shrinkage while cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip them.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    After flipping, place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    If desired, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard.

  3. 8

    Finish the Burger

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