Burger Patties

Burger Assembly

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 4

    Prepare the Bun

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a leaf of lettuce, followed by a slice of tomato, and a slice of onion.

  3. 6

    Add the Patty

    Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top of the vegetables.

  4. 7

    Finish the Burger

    Top with pickles, ketchup, and mustard to your liking, then cover with the top half of the bun.
