Dircetions:
When forming patties, slightly indent the center with your thumb, this will help the patty cook more evenly.
Season patties on both sides with salt/pepper or with a dry rub.
Place the burgers on the grill over direct heat. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning once. Do not press down on the burgers, this only squeezes out the juices and can cause flames.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare your building accessories.
