Preheat your grill to 450 degrees.
Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix together until well combined. Form into 4 even patties. Make a thumbprint in the center of each patty.
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side (depending on the thickness of the burgers) or until desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to help determine when they are done (135°F for rare, 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, 170°F for well-done).
Set out buns, cheese, onion, lettuce, tomato, bacon, avocado, and condiments galore so your guests can customize their burgers to their liking!
You could also make this recipe into sliders. Simply take the same recipe and make 8 burger patties instead of 4. Make sure you buy the slider buns!
Store & Reheat
Store
Fridge: Transfer the burgers to a large glass storage container with an airtight lid. Allow it to cool to room temperature before securing the lid (about 30-45 minutes; the exact time depends on the amount of meat). Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freezer: You can also freeze the burgers for up to 3 months. Place the burgers in the fridge to thaw overnight for best results. Make sure the container is airtight!
Reheat
Microwave: Place burgers in a microwave-safe dish, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave on high for 20-30 seconds at a time until heated through. This prevents overcooking and keeps the burger from drying out*
Oven: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place burgers in an oven-safe dish, cover it with foil, and cook for 10-15 minutes. You can also add a splash of water or beef broth to the dish to prevent the burgers from drying out*
Stovetop: Place the burgers on a pan over medium-low heat. Add a splash of water or beef broth to the pan to prevent the burgers from drying out. Cover with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through. Repeat until heated through.*
* Total time depends on the amount you are reheating and the thickness of the burgers.
