Description
Delicious homemade grilled cheeseburgers perfect for any cookout.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds ground chuck (70% lean 30% fat)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 2 teaspoons burger or steak seasoning (or to taste)
- 8 slices cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium to medium-high heat (400-450 degrees). Some grills burn extra hot so adjust accordingly.
- Place seasoned griddle over the top of the grill grates.
- Gently divide the beef into 8 equal clumps, do not over-handle.
- See notes above; griddle is hot, spray with cooking spray and place a clump of beef on the griddle, pressing down slightly with hands.
- Season with salt and burger seasonings to taste. Just a sprinkle of salt and about 1/4 teaspoon seasoning will do.
- Spray the burger press with cooking spray and press down on the beef making it flat. Keep the press on for about 30-seconds to 1 minute.
- Remove the press and flip the burger. Season the cooked side with a little salt and seasoning and then press down with the press again for another minute or until you reach your desired doneness.
- Add a slice of cheese (optional) and remove burger from grill.
- Place burger on a plate and cover with foil for 3-5 minutes. If you added cheese, make sure the foil doesn’t touch the cheese. It will stick.
- Serve with hamburger buns and your favorite burger toppings and condiments.
Notes
- Be careful not to over-handle the beef to ensure juicy burgers.
- The cooking times may vary based on your grill type and the thickness of the burgers.
