Classic Beef Burger

Indulge in the classic taste of a beef burger with all the fixings. This recipe delivers a juicy and flavorful burger thats perfect for meat lovers.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup lettuce, shredded
• 1/2 cup tomato, sliced
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 pickle slices
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp mustard
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions:

Preheat your grill or stovetop pan to medium-high heat

In a bowl, mix the ground beef, salt, and black pepper

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties

Brush the burger patties with vegetable oil to prevent sticking to the grill or pan

Place the burger patties on the grill or pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your burgers well-done

During the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt

While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are lightly browned

In a small bowl, mix ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard to make the sauce

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a burger patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, red onion slices, and a pickle slice

Spread the sauce on the top half of the buns, then place the top bun on the assembled ingredients

Serve your classic beef burgers hot with your favorite side dishes
