Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Beef

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about ¾ inch thick.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    Flip the patties and place your choice of cheese on top. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the cheese melts and the patties reach your desired doneness.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 7

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese. Top with tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Finally, cover with the top half of the bun.
