Hamburger – USA

Here’s the classic American hamburger recipe in English:

Ingredients

For the Burger:

• 500 g ground beef (preferably 80% lean)

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Extras:

• Hamburger buns

• Sliced cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)

• Lettuce leaves

• Tomato slices

1. Prepare the Patties: In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and divide into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty.

2. Cooking: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side. In the last minute, add cheese slices on top to melt.

3. Prepare the Buns: Slice the hamburger buns in half and toast the insides if desired.

4. Assemble: On the bottom bun, place lettuce, the cooked patty, tomato, onion, and pickles. Add ketchup, mayonnaise, or mustard as desired. Top with the other half of the bun.

5. Serve: Serve hot, accompanied by fries, and enjoy!
