Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into a patty shape, about 4 oz.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place the slice of cheddar cheese on top of the patty and cover to melt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Bun

    While the patty is cooking, slice the burger bun in half and lightly toast it on the grill or skillet if desired.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of the bun. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top. Add ketchup, mustard, tomato slice, lettuce leaf, onion rings, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burger immediately with your choice of side.
