Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Mix well and form into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Place a slice of cheese on each patty after flipping. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patty reaches your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom bun, layer lettuce, a cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the cheeseburger hot with your favorite sides.
