Best Cheese Burger Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip them, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts and the patties reach your desired doneness.

3. 3

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, you can toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, sliced tomatoes, and onions. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the burgers hot with your favorite sides.
