Cheeseburger Recipe

Cheeseburger Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned, then flip them.

4. 4

   Add the Cheese

   After flipping the patties, place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.

5. 5

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burgers

   Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add the cooked patty with melted cheese, then layer with tomato slices, onion slices, ketchup, and mustard.

7. 7

   Serve

   Top with the other half of the bun, secure with a skewer if needed, and serve immediately.
