It depends on the amount of ground beef you use to make the burger. Normal size, squished flat in a circle takes 5 min to cook. Double the meat takes longer. The cheese can be added on top during the last minute, but squeeze out the grease first. You might add a slice of tomato and lettuce and sauce like ketchup. Place it between two pieces of toast or a toasted bun. Normal size, 10 min to cook, 5 min to eat.
