Classic Grilled Burger
- 3 pounds Ground Beef, At Least 15% Fat
- 2 Tablespoons Seasoned Salt
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 2 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 1/4 cups Ketchup
- 1/4 cups Ranch Dressing
- 1 Onion, Cut In Half Then Sliced
- 2 Tablespoons Oil
- 8 Hamburger Buns
- Lettuce Leaves
- 2 Tomatoes, Sliced
- 2 Avocados, Pitted And Sliced
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, season salt, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper.
- Mix thoroughly, but do not over-work.

- Set aside for assembling burgers.
- In a medium skillet, heat oil for a minute, then add sliced onions.
- Saute on medium-low until soft and lightly caramelized, approximately 10 minutes.
- Set aside for assembling burgers.
- Form patties by dividing ground beef mixture into 8 parts.
- Carefully mound each part into a sphere, then flatten to approximately 1-inch thick.
- Press firmly with your thumb in the middle of each patty to form an indentation.
- Using long tongs, wipe grill grates with an oiled paper towel.
- This will prevent grilled burgers from sticking.
- Place burgers on the gill and close the lid.
- Flip burgers after 4 minutes, and grill another 4 minutes.
- Remove from grill and lightly cover with aluminum foil.
- Let burgers rest 5 minutes.
- This should give you medium rare burgers.
- Adjust cooking time according to your taste.
- Lightly toast buns on grill while burgers are resting.
- Assemble burgers with your choice of toppings.
- My favorites are the secret sauce, iceberg lettuce, vine-ripened tomatoes, avocado, and sauteed onions.
- Feel free to throw on some cheese, mustard, or raw onions if you like.
- Serve with potato chips and dig in!
