bowl and blend together. Divide the meat into portions, and
gently shape into patties to fit the buns. Make patties about 1.9
cm / ¾ inches thick.
3. Place patties on grill. Grill six minutes per side, taking care not
to press down on the meat. Test for doneness, using a meat
thermometer; internal temperature should reach 71ºC / 160ºF.
Meat may turn pink on the outside due to smoking.
4. In the last few minutes of grilling, brush buns with butter and
lightly toast on the grill.
5. Remove buns, burgers when done. Top the burgers with cheese
to melt, and serve.
TIP:
A slightly fattier meat makes for a juicier burger. For a lean
alternative, try ground buffalo.
