Arrange the burgers on a plate. Cover them with plastic wrap or wax paper. Chill for 30 minutes to a few hours to make the burgers firmer and easier to cook. Burger meat is best cooked cold.
Choose your cooking method. The homemade burgers can be cooked with a broiler or grill, fried in the skillet or frying pan, or barbecued. They can also be baked.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the toppings. You can choose to use whatever toppings you like, but here's what you can do to prepare traditional toppings for the burger:
• Wash the lettuce and tomatoes.
• Halve the burger buns, then thinly slice the tomatoes.
• Place the ketchup and mayonnaise on the table for diners to make their own choice.
