- Form the patties: Form 8 equal balls, depending on the number of burgers desired. Press the balls into patties, about 4 ½ inches wide and ¾-inch thick. Make a ½-inch indent in the center of each patty.
- Cook: Preheat the grill on high for 10-15 minutes. Oil the grates with neutral oil, and place patties on the grates. Let cook for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on personal internal doneness preference. For food safety purposes, the USDA recommends that burgers reach an internal temperature of 160°F in the center when checked with an instant-read thermometer. Once grilled, remove the burgers from the grill and serve.neutral oil
The patties can be made several hours in advance and kept in the refrigerator until ready to grill.
If using an indoor grill pan, preheat on medium-high for 10 minutes. Oil the pan with neutral oil, and working in batches, add burgers. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side. Set aside and continue cooking burgers until all are done.
