Burger Patties

Cheese

Buns

Optional Toppings

Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mixing the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Forming the Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Grilling the Burgers

  1. 3

    Preheating the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C).

  2. 4

    Grilling the Patties

    Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.

  3. 5

    Adding the Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

Toasting the Buns

  1. 6

    Toasting

    While the burgers are cooking, you can toast the brioche buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown.

Assembling the Burgers

  1. 7

    Building the Burger

    Once the patties and buns are ready, assemble your burgers by placing each patty on the bottom half of a brioche bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard as desired.

  2. 8

    Finishing Touch

    Place the top half of the bun on the assembled burger and serve immediately.
