See all of our favorite burger recipes plus tips and tricks for cooking the ultimate burger at home. Form the Patties: Shape the meat into 4 equal-sized patties. Use your thumb to make an indentation in the center of each patty. Grill the Burgers: Grill the burgers over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes on each side, until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, brush the tops of the burgers with a little more barbecue sauce. If topping the burgers with cheese, add the cheese and allow it to slightly melt. Remove the burgers from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings and enjoy.
