Ingredients
2lbsground beef
4garlic cloves,minced
2tbsponion,minced
1tbspWorcestershire sauce
1¾tspfreshly ground pepper
1½tspteaspoons salt
6hamburger buns
Butter,for buns
Preparation
Put the cold ground beef in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle the other ingredients evenly over top. Fold the meat over a few times to get everything incorporated.
Cover the patties with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge while you heat up your grill and butter your buns.
Heat a gas or charcoal grill to 450 to 500 degrees F, or hot enough that you can only hold your hand above the grill grates for about 1 second. Butter the insides of all the buns and set them near the grill.
Place patties on the grill over direct heat. Cook to your desired doneness. Flip the burgers at least once during cooking, or as often as you wish. Do not press down on the patties at any time.
When you have about 1 minute left on the cooking time, add the cheese to the burgers and the buttered buns to the grill over indirect heat.
Remove burgers and buns from grill and transfer to a clean platter. Let the burgers rest for 1 minute before serving.
Serve with tomato jam, mayonnaise, bacon jam, garlic aioli, blue cheese sauce, sautéed mushrooms, Thousand Island, or the classic and always wonderful lettuce, tomato, pickles, and red onion.
