Burger Components

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, approximately 3/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them and add a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato and onion into thin rings.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a cooked burger patty with melted cheese. Add a slice of tomato and a few rings of onion. Drizzle ketchup and mustard on top, then close with the top half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the double burger immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as fries or a salad.
