Savor the classic American hamburger, featuring juicy ground beef, melted cheddar, and fresh toppings nestled in a soft bun. Ideal for a weekend barbecue or a cozy weeknight dinner with family and friends.
IngredientsWhat you need
- 453.6 g ground beef
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 hamburger buns buns
- 1 cup lettuce
- 1 large tomato
- 1/2 cup pickles
Method
- 1
Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.
- 2
While the grill is heating, divide the ground beef into four equal portions and gently form them into patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
- 3
Season both sides of the patties with salt and black pepper.
- 4
Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them. If you're using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
- 5
As the patties cook, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- 6
Assemble your hamburgers by placing the cooked patties on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and any other desired toppings.
- 7
Finish by placing the top half of the bun on each assembled hamburger.
- 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic hamburgers!
