Get out that grill because it is barbecuing time. There is nothing quite like biting into a homemade juicy hamburger that has been grilled to perfection.
Homemade hamburgers have long been one of my favorite things to eat for lunch or dinner. Serve them with a homemade grilled bun, cheddar cheese, tomato, lettuce, bacon, onion, etc. side of fries, and I am in heaven.
Each bite puts a smile on my face as the juicy burger and the flavors from the other ingredients meld together in a perfect harmonious balance. There is a reason why hamburgers are one of the most popular foods in America. They are amazing!
And it is not that difficult to get a nice juicy hamburger that is much better than those sorry excuse for a burger patty, frozen hockey pucks that you get at the store. If I can do it, you can do it. Let’s get grilling!

Instructions
Begin by heating up your outdoor grill or preheating a George Foreman grill or a cast-iron skillet. Between medium and medium-high if using the stovetop. The same if using a gas grill.
Create the patties by sprinkling on some salt, pepper, and garlic powder onto the ground beef. Knead the beef together a bit to make sure those seasonings go through it. Then divide the beef into 4 equal parts.
Roll the beef into a ball and then press it down into a disc shape, make an indention in the middle with the thumb, which helps it cook evenly and not puff up while being cooked. Or you can use a burger press which works nicely.
If using the burger press, wrap half of the ball with plastic wrap and then place the press on it, and push down, the beef will form around the press. Flip it over and pull on the plastic to remove the patty.
Sprinkle the patties again with the same seasonings. Then place them on the hot grill, George Foreman, or skillet. Cook each side for 4 to 5 minutes. Do NOT press down on them with a spatula. This pushes the juices out. Don't keep flipping them. Just let them cooked undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Once the patties are almost done, place some cheese on the top, if desired to melt it. And place the buns on the grill if desired to toast them.
Remove the patties and everything from the grill and allow the patties to rest for about 5 minutes. This will help hold the juices in. After that assemble your burger with your favorite toppings, like bacon, tomato, grilled onion, lettuce, etc. Serve them with a side of homemade fries, onion rings, etc. Enjoy!
