BEFORE YOU START
A little detail makes it lovely.
A food thermometer is the reliable way to check ground beef. Color alone cannot tell you it is safely cooked.

Let's make it
- 01
Prepare the toppings
Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard. Wash and dry the lettuce and slice the tomato. Keep these away from raw beef and its utensils.
- 02
Shape the patties
Divide beef into four equal patties, slightly wider than the buns. Season with salt and pepper. Wash hands and any surfaces that touched raw meat.
- 03
Cook thoroughly
Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for approximately 4–6 minutes per side, adjusting as needed, until the center reaches 160°F (71°C). Add cheese for the last minute. Use a clean plate for cooked patties.
- 04
Build the burgers
Toast the buns if desired. Spread with sauce, then add lettuce, tomato, and the cooked cheeseburger patties. Serve promptly.
