i think you left out how high the heat should be set for.  i assume high or medium-high based upon your cooking times.

    Thanks for the great advice.  I like to add just a bit of water to my hamburgers when grilling along with season-all.  This makes for a very tender burger will added taste without losing the beef flavor too much.  Or try this.

Big Fish, the one thing I miss living in a city is being able to do some outdoor grilling!  Nothing beats that flavor!

Stephanie, I'm so glad to hear it!  Have you tried the Tex-Mex Burgers ?  :)

Bria, you might want to have a look at my Tex-Mex Cheeseburger video as well.  They too are delicious!

Adam do you dip them in egg befroe frying them, or just add an egg before you make them into patties?

I'm a big (literally) enough beef lover to do it plain too, but I love the results of mixing in (mushing well with ultra-clean hands) garlic salt, pepper, and diced white onion while forming the patties. Grilling tip:  I stopped accidentally making grilled meatballs out of what was supposed to be burgers by forming the patties as flat as possible and pressing 'em flat while bbq'ing 'em a coupla times.

this is my first time making cheeseburgers for me and my family and im kind of afraid of doing it..im not the best cook...but these steps were clear enough im sure it should turn out good

My patties seem to shrink in diameter when i grill them, making them more round then flat.. how do i avoid this problem?? help.thanks

The only place I've tried burgers made of plain ground beef are the US. I'm not saying I didn't like them, i LOVED them.

But this is how I like to make them at home: Ground beef, Ground pork,(if you put some ground soy meat too, not just beef and pork,  they'll be extra soft and tasty), Bread dipped in milk, Black pepper, Salt, Finely chopped onion, An egg, Seasonings (I like working with Vegeta- it has dried carrot, parsnip, onions, celery, parsley leaves and other spices in it, so it gives it a wonderful aroma, a great finish touch). Something like Dave's recipe, actually.

great tip I made this today and they turned out great!  on my stove though I had to cut the time a bit,  for well done from 5 flip 5 to  5 flip 3.   other then that it was great!  I used garlic power and onion power and chilli power on both sides to tast.  again thanks for the tip.

Is there anyway to make hamburgers/cheese burgers ahead of time?  We're having a lunch time picnic at work but only have a microwave.

Yum Yum. I made them last night for a BBQ with friends and they went down a treat!

Of all the suggestions on the board, one main ingredient seems to be missing.  Tabasco sauce.  My 12yr & 2 yr granddaughters love anything with Tabasco.  Eggs, Pastas & of course 'burgers.  I put 2-3 drops in my cup in the morning before adding coffee.  Gives day a whole new outlook!!
