Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into two equal-sized 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 for medium, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    During 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 cheese is melting, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Add lettuce, tomato, and pickles, followed by the cheeseburger patty. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
