- Prepare a grill to medium-high. Brush grill grate with oil.
- Sprinkle both sides of burgers with salt and pepper. Place on grate and grill until well seared on both sides, about 5 minutes for medium-rare or 6 minutes for medium.
- If cooking indoors, place a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add burgers pan coated with cooking spray. Cook until well seared on both sides, 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare or 10 to 12 minutes for medium.
- When the burgers are almost done grilling, place a slice of cheese on top of each patty. Also, place the buns, cut sides down, on the grill to toast; remove when lightly browned.
- Serve the grilled patties and toasted buns along with the remaining fixings.

These are probably the best burgers I've ever had! I topped mine with some guacamole, chipotle mayo, and ketchup...awesome! And it was quick and easy to make. Thank you so much for such a tasty recipe that the whole family loved.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
