Tips for Best Grilled Burgers
- Start with high-quality beef. This is the most important step for making a great grilled burger. Go for ground chuck that has 20% fat content.
- Make sure your burgers are the right size. They should be about 1/3 pound each so they’re big enough to be satisfying but not so big that they’re difficult to eat.
- Season the beef before grilling. Use a simple seasoning of salt and pepper or get creative with your favorite spices. Just make sure not to overdo it – you don’t want to overpower the taste of the beef.
- Preheat your grill before cooking the burgers. You want it to be hot so the burgers cook evenly and don’t stick to the grill.
- Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
