Well Done Bacon Hamburgers On A Gas Grill Recipes

HOW TO GRILL HAMBURGERS ON A GAS GRILL

Steps:

• Preheat grill on high. Clean and oil grill grates.
• Start with 80/20 ground beef and divide it into 1/3 to 1/2 pound balls. They are the size of a tennis ball and then form into patties about 3/4 inch thick and about 4-inch diameter. Safety note: Always wash your hands for safety before and after touching ground meat.
• Give them a good sprinkle of salt and pepper on both sides. I'm using my 7:2:2 (salt, pepper, garlic).
• THE BIG SECRET TO GOOD RESULTS. Press one inch round 1/4 inch deep indentation into the center of one side.
• Grill over direct heat with a closed lid preferred, but you can do open grilling if you prefer. Flip after 5 minutes.
• Grill another 3-4 minutes and check the temperature. Get to 160° to 165°, then add cheese for about 30-60 seconds if using cheese. Times are given as estimates. You are cooking to the final internal temperature and NEVER by time alone.
• I don't feel a great need to rest the meat before serving. By the time you place it on the bun and do things to it, it has been enough time.
