Equipment
- 1 Griddle or frying pan (for cooking the beef patties and grilling the bread)
- 1 Spatula (to flip the patties and press the sandwich)
- 1 Knife (for slicing cheese and bread)
- 1 Plate (for assembling the burger)
- 1 Bowl (optional for seasoning)
Ingredients
- 2 hamburger buns preferably soft and fresh
- 2 beef patties about 1/4 lb each
- 4 slices of American cheese or your preferred cheese
- Butter for toasting the bread
- Salt and pepper to taste, for seasoning the patties
- Ketchup optional, to taste
- Mustard optional, to taste
- Pickles optional, for added crunch
Instructions
- Prepare the beef patties: Form the ground beef into two equal-sized patties, approximately 1/4 lb each. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Cook the beef patties: Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Toast the bread: While the patties cook, butter the outside of your hamburger buns. Place the buns, butter-side down, onto a hot griddle or pan. Grill until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Melt the cheese: As soon as the patties are done, place 2 slices of cheese on each patty. Let them melt on the hot beef for about a minute.
- Assemble the burger: Place one cheesy patty on the bottom toasted bun. Add the second patty on top. Optionally, add pickles, ketchup, and mustard if desired. Top with the second toasted bun.
- Serve: Serve immediately while hot with your favorite side dishes.
