Grilled Burgers
Try Ree Drummond’s simple and delicious Grilled Burger’s recipe. You only need a handful of ingredients and a hot grill to make these juicy burgers.
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil, for the grill (Best O’ Veg, Dairy Fresh, Great Value, Western Family)
- 3 pounds 80 percent lean ground beef
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper (Colonial, Diamond Crystal, Monarch, Morton, Nifda, Red & White, Sterling, Sysco)
- Tabasco sauce, to taste
- 6 Kaiser rolls (Arnold, Earthgrains, Nature’s Harvest, Oroweat, Stroehmann, Sara Lee)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (Dairy Fresh, Hiland Dairy, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, Land O’ Lakes Butter, Prairie Farms)
Directions
Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grates. Place the ground beef in a medium mixing bowl. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Add a few dashes of Tabasco sauce, then with your hands, mix the meat and seasoning well. Form the meat into six 1-inch-thick patties and place on the grill. Cover and cook 3 minutes, then rotate, leaving them on the same side, and cook 3 more minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side. Meanwhile, slice the rolls in half and spread each cut side with 1/2 tablespoon butter. Grill the rolls, cut-side down, until lightly toasted. Build the burgers with assorted toppings.
