How To Make burgers on the grill - ten ways

  • 1
    Preheat your grill on high heat and oil the grate. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper. Place ground beef and bread crumbs into the mixture, and with your hands or a fork, mix until well blended. Form into eight patties, each about 3/4-inch thick. Place the patties on the grill and cook 7 to 9 minutes per side, or however long you desire.

    Aloha Burger Top this Big Kahuna with a pineapple slice, cooked bacon, and mozzarella cheese. You can even incorporate coconut shreds. Replace your standard bun with a Hawaiian sweet bread bun. Note: Hawaii is the biggest consumer of spam in the country. Why not add a grilled slice to this burger, or leave out the burger all together and just use the Spam!

    N'awlins Burger Sprinkle your patty with Cajun seasoning (I use Emeril's but Tony Chatchere's is good too), and layer with jalapeno cheese, tomatoes, green onions, and chilies. Mix together 2 teaspoons of chili paste with a cup of mayonnaise to spread on the buns.
