Kid Burger Recipe

Mixing Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Forming the Patty

Shape the mixture into a round patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of the patty with your thumb to help it cook evenly.

Heating the Grill or Pan

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

Cooking the Patty

Place the patty on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Preparing the Bun

While the patty is cooking, slice the burger bun in half and lightly toast it if desired.

Layering Ingredients

On the bottom half of the toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty. Top the patty with cheese, tomato slices, and add ketchup and mustard to taste.

Completing the Burger

Place the top half of the bun over the assembled ingredients and press down gently to secure.
