How to Make All American Cheeseburgers

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, salt, pepper, and chopped onion. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the burgers tough.
  2. Form the meat mixture into four equal-sized patties, slightly larger than the buns.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium, or to your desired doneness.
  5. During the last minute of cooking, place a cheese slice on each patty to allow it to melt.
  6. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for a minute per side, or until lightly browned.
  7. Spread ketchup and mayonnaise on the bottom halves of the buns.
  8. Place a cooked patty on each bottom bun, followed by lettuce, tomato, and any desired toppings (pickles, mustard, etc.).
  9. Top with the bun tops and serve immediately. Enjoy!
