Pro tip: Avoid overmixing to keep the meat tender.

Shape the patties

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick.

Pro tip: Make a small indent in the centre of each patty to prevent it from puffing up.

Chill the patties

Refrigerate the patties for about 10 minutes to help them hold their shape.

Grill the patties

Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Pro tip: Avoid pressing down on the patties to keep them juicy.

Add cheese

During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and close the lid to melt.

Assemble the burgers

Place each patty on a bun and add lettuce, tomato, and onion slices.

Pro tip: Toast the buns on the grill for a minute for extra flavour.
