Classic Hamburger Recipe

By Coldsnap46

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef sirloin
• 1 pound ground beef chuck
• 6 hamburger buns
• 12 slices cooked bacon (optional)
• 6 slices cheese, American, Cheddar or Pepper Jack

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the beef and salt and pepper in a bowl. Using your hands, mix well. Form into 6 patties. Refrigerate until ready to grill.

Prepare a charcoal or gas grill: Lightly spray the grill rack with vegetable oil cooking spray. Light the coals or heating elements, and let them burn or heat until hot.

For medium-rare, grill the burgers for 3- minutes on each side.

After turning burgers, place cheese on top; grill for the remaining 3-4 minutes.

Toast the bun if you prefer and assemble the burger with your favorite toppings, like bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, lettuce and cheese, to name a few.
