Directions:

• Combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper and other meat seasonings in a large bowl. Gently mix to combine all ingredients
• Divide mixture into 4 even portions, press into thick 1” patties
• Drizzle oil lightly onto patties before placing on preheated grill
• Burgers will cook 4 minutes on each side until 160 degrees internal temp
• Key to burgers: don’t over flip!! Let them cook nice and evenly on grill
• Lightly brush softened butter onto each patty while they cook to help bring out the flavors of the beef!
• Last 30 seconds put selected variety of cheese on burgers!
• While cheese melts, toast your buns as well on grill last 30 seconds
