MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Grilled Hamburgers Categories: Five, Beef, Cheese, Breads Yield: 4 servings 1 1/2 lb Ground chuck Salt & black pepper Cheese slices 4 Hamburger buns; split Start a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill. (Check out our grilling guide for how.) Form the patties into 1/2" burgers, being careful not to make them too loose or too large, then make a deep depression in the center of each burger with your thumb. Season both sides of the each burger aggressively with kosher salt and black pepper. Place burgers on a hot grill and cook, without moving, for about 3 minutes. Use a spatula to turn the hamburger over. If using cheese, lay slices on the meat. Continue to cook until the burgers are cooked through, about another 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare. Remove the burgers from the grill and allow to rest for a few minutes while you toast the buns. Top the burgers as you desire.
