Notes
Shape the beef patties slightly larger than the hamburger buns, as they shrink during cooking.
Make an indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while grilling.
Brush the barbecue sauce on the buns just before assembling the burgers for a tangy flavor.
Preheat the barbecue grill thoroughly to ensure proper cooking of the beef patties.
Use a spatula to flip the beef patties only once during grilling to avoid losing juices.
Experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or Swiss, to add extra flavor to the burgers.
