All American Burger * Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Wash and slice the tomato and red onion. Rinse the lettuce leaf and pat dry. Set all the toppings aside.

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Take the ground beef and divide it into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a round patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they reach your desired doneness.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

   In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cover the grill or skillet with a lid to help melt the cheese.

5. 5

   Toast the Buns

   While the burgers are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burgers

   Spread mustard on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the lettuce leaf on top, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, pickle slices, and red onion slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the burgers hot with a side of fries or your favorite side dish.
