Ingredients
  

For the Burgers:
  • 1/2 lb ground beef
  • Salt and paper
  • 2 slices Cheese
  • 2 burger buns
For the Toppings:
  • 1 medium sliced Tomato
  • 1/2 sliced onion
  • 2 lettuce leaves
  • sliced pickles
  • Ketchup and Mustard

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Patties:
    In a bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt and pepper. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center (this helps them cook evenly).
  2. Cook the Burgers:
    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, you can add a little oil to prevent sticking.Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the burgers and cook for another 3 minutes.Add a slice of cheese on each patty in the last minute of cooking to melt.
  3. Toast the Buns:
    While the burgers are finishing, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.
  4. Assemble the Burgers:
    Place each cheeseburger patty on a bun. Top with your choice of lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Add ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise as desired.
