Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 lbs 60% chuck 40% brisket (, ground by your butcher)
  • 4 Challah buns ((unless you decide to do one burger per bun, then 8))
  • American Cheese
  • Vlasic Bread and Butter Pickles ((or your favorite pickles))
  • Butter
  • Salt

Instruction

  • Heat your grill to high heat.
  • Prepare the ground meat by sectioning it into 8 balls and gently pressing into patties. Be careful to not handle the meat much — the more you handle it, the tougher your burger will be.
  • Sprinkle salt on the tops of the burgers and allow to rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  • Open the grill and place patties salt side down on the grill.
  • Salt the other side and add a dot of butter (like a teaspoon or so).
  • Grill on each side for 2-3 minutes for medium rare, 3-4 for medium (how I like it), and 5-6 for well done. During the last minute of cooking, add the cheese to each burger and close the lid to allow the cheese to melt.
  • Meanwhile, slice open the challah buns and butter each half.
  • When you add the cheese on top of the patties, add the buns to the grill as well. (Place the buns cut side down). Grill only until grill marks appear.
  • Remove the buns from the grill and place two patties on the bottom bun.
  • Top with pickles and top lid of the bun.
