Total Time:
15m
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds ground chuck (85 percent lean or less)
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns, split
- lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle chips, and mayonnaise, for serving
Directions
- Heat the grill to medium-high. Divide the meat and gently form it into 4 balls. (Do not overwork the meat.)
- Flatten the balls into 3/4-inch-thick patties. Flatten the top and sides of each patty to ensure that the thickness is the same throughout. Use your fingers to make a shallow well in the top of each patty. (This will prevent overplumping.) Season the patties with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Oil the grill grate using a pair of tongs and a paper towel dipped in canola oil. Cook the burgers (with the wells facing up) until they release easily from the grill, 4 to 5 minutes for medium. Flip and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 155°F, or 4 to 5 minutes for medium. Serve on rolls with the desired toppings.

Quick Tip
To get that oozing, melted effect that everyone craves, add the cheese 2 minutes before the burger is done and cook with the
grill covered.

FRESH PICK
Turnips
Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it
is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
