Grilled Burger 101
 Makes 4 burgers
Prep Time: 10 min.
Cooking Time: 15 min.
Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 - pounds ground chuck
- 1/4 - teaspoon salt
- 1/4 - teaspoon pepper
- 4 - hamburger buns (your
choice)
Directions:
Prepare a medium fire in your
grill.
- While the grill is heating,
mix the ground chuck, salt, and pepper in a medium-mixing
bowl. Mix lightly, using your hands. (Remember wash your hands
before and after handling the ground beef.)
- Place the hamburger patties on
an oiled grill grid. Grill directly over the heat for 5 to 7
minutes per side for medium.
- Adjust your times for rare to
well done. (A reminder from the US Dept of Agriculture - when
cooking meat, cook it to 160 degrees inside temperature or the
center is no longer pink.)
- Toast buns split side down on
the edges of the grill grid until lightly brown.
The three simple
rules to make that great hamburger.
1. Do not over mix the ground
beef. This ensures the ground beef not becoming tough.
2. Shape the ground beef into a
uniform, flat patty. Do not make it thicker than 3/4-inch.
3. Do not press down on the
hamburger while you are cooking. This presses the juices out of
the meat.
