Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patty

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into a patty.

  2. 2

    Cook the Burger Patty

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the patty to melt.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of the bun, layer lettuce, tomato slices, the cooked cheeseburger patty, onion slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the cheeseburger with a side of French fries.
