Cook the Beef

Crumble ground beef into a large microwave-safe mug. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, breaking up the meat halfway through with a fork. Drain any excess fat carefully.

2

Add Cheese

Season the cooked ground beef with salt and pepper. Lay cheddar cheese slices on top of the beef in the mug. Microwave for another 30 seconds until cheese is melted.

3

Assemble and Serve

Spoon the cheesy beef mixture onto the toasted bottom bun. Drizzle with ketchup and mustard. Place the top bun on and serve immediately.
