👩🍳 Instructions
-
Make the patties
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal parts. Shape into round patties (slightly larger than the buns). Season both sides with salt and pepper.
-
Cook the burgers
Heat a pan or grill over medium-high heat. Cook patties for about 3–4 minutes per side.
-
Add cheese
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover briefly so the cheese melts.
-
Toast the buns
Lightly butter the buns and toast them in the pan until golden.
-
Assemble the burger
Bottom bun → patty with melted cheese → lettuce → tomato → pickles → ketchup/mustard → top bun.
