Burger Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground beef 80% lean
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper freshly ground
  • 4 Burger buns toasted
  • 4 slices Cheese optional

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a bowl, mix the ground beef, salt, and black pepper until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties.
  4. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
  5. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the grill to melt the cheese.
  6. Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
  7. Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun. Add your favorite toppings and serve.
