Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip them.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach the desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, cut the burger buns in half and toast them on the grill or skillet until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slice, onion slices, and pickles. Add ketchup and mustard as desired. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your classic cheeseburger!
