Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the beef into a patty that is about 1 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Heat the cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the beef patty. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium doneness. Adjust cooking time for medium-well or well-done as desired.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the patty is cooking, slice the onion and tomato. Prepare the lettuce and pickles.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Once the patty is cooked to your desired doneness, place it on the bottom half of the burger bun. Layer with onion, lettuce, pickles, and tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Half Pounder immediately, with your favorite side dishes.
