Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Beef Patty

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.

2

Grill the Patties

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

3

Grill the Onions

Slice the onion into rings and grill them on the same skillet or grill until soft and slightly charred, about 3-4 minutes.

4

Prepare the Burger

Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Assemble the burgers by placing the beef patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of the bun, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, grilled onions, and dill pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

5

Serve

Serve the burgers hot with a side of fries.
