Cooking the Burger
There are many ways to cook a hamburger. Preferred method is on a flat top griddle, but not everyone has that at home. Next best is a cast iron skillet on your BBQ.
Light your BBQ and get it nice and hot. Place cast iron pan on BBQ and close lid to heat up the cast iron.
- Season the outside of the patty with Kosher Salt & Fresh Ground Black Pepper
- Place on the cast iron pan for 4-5 minutes per side or until firm to the touch.
- With about 2 minutes left on the second side, add a slice of aged cheddar if you wish!
- If you know where your meat is coming from, the best burger is cooked medium to medium well. Still a bit of pink, but no blood.
