Classic Cheeseburger (Non-Veg)

Cooking Time

1. 1

   Preparation:

   Begin by washing and drying the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato and onion and keep them aside. Arrange the cheese slices, sauces, and buns so everything is ready before cooking. Place the ground beef in a mixing bowl and season it with salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix the ingredients gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about three-quarters of an inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to help it cook evenly.

   Cooking Method:

   Heat a grill, griddle, or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the beef patties on the cooking surface and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on the first side without pressing them down. Turn the patties over and immediately place a slice of cheese on top of each one. Continue cooking for another 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese has melted and the burgers are cooked to your preferred level of doneness. While the patties finish cooking, cut the hamburger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or skillet until they are golden brown.

   Assembly:

   Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by a slice of tomato. Add the hot cheeseburger patty with the melted cheese and then layer on the onion slices and pickles. Spread ketchup and mustard on the top half of the bun and place it over the burger to complete the sandwich.
