How to Make Best Grilled Burgers

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Avoid overmixing.
  2. Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, slightly larger than your buns, making a small indentation in the center of each to prevent them from bulging during cooking.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach your preferred internal temperature (160°F for well-done, 130-140°F for medium-rare).
  5. During the last minute of grilling, top each burger with a slice of your favorite cheese (Provolone and Swiss are excellent choices!).
  6. Remove from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving on your favorite buns with your desired toppings.
