Equipment

  • 1 Gas grill

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Divide the ground beef into 4 (4-ounce) portions and form into patties.
  • Season the outside of the patties with a sprinkle of salt and place in an air tight container in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to chill.
  • Set up the gas grill and preheat.
  • Place the grills over the hot side of the grill, and cook the burgers for about four to five minutes on each side, flipping them once for even cooking. 
  • Pop your buns on the grill and then assemble the burger with your favorite toppings.

Notes

What if you want a more flavorful patty? Personally, I think a bit of salt is enough, but if you want the meat to pack flavor by itself, try other seasonings like:
    • Worcestershire sauce
    • Dried herbs (thyme, rosemary, oregano)
Burgers are best served fresh off the grill. Have all of your side dishes ready to go so there’s no delay for your hungry family or friends. Here are some awesome sides you can add to the table:
