Sour cream makes these burgers delightfully moist, and thyme and black pepper give them zip. These sandwiches are a terrific taste of summer served with tall glasses of lemonade or iced tea. -Jesse & Anne Foust, Bluefield, West Virginia

GRILLED HAMBURGERS
We cook a lot of burgers indoors on a fat-slicked iron skillet, and you can do that on a grill as well. (Here's our burger guide for more information and inspiration.) But sometimes you want a smoky grilled burger. For that, a charcoal grill is best, but a gas grill can do the trick, too. Resist the temptation to press down on the burgers with a spatula, which only spews juice and fat on the fire, causing the flames to flare up and the burger to lose flavor. If you feel your burger is cooking too quickly, use the cooler sides of the grill to rest them. And remember: lowering the top on the grill helps cheese melt.

Steps:
- Start a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill. (Check out our grilling guide for how.) Form the patties into 3/4-inch burgers, being careful not to make them too loose or too large, then make a deep depression in the center of each burger with your thumb. Season both sides of the each burger aggressively with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Place burgers on a hot grill and cook, without moving, for about 3 minutes. Use a spatula to turn the hamburger over. If using cheese, lay slices on the meat. Continue to cook until the burgers are cooked through, about another 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare. Remove the burgers from the grill and allow to rest for a few minutes while you toast the buns. Top the burgers as you desire.

THE BEST GRILLED BURGERS
When summer nights call for a grilled burger, this one is our go-to. We season only the outside of each patty right before grilling to help a build a nice crust. Our trick for forming the patties is a real time saver, especially if you are cooking for a crowd. You can also form them the day before; place in an airtight container with parchment paper in between to help with party-day prep.

Steps:
- Form the ground beef into four 8-ounce patties. A quick and easy way to do this is to divide the meat into 4 piles. Place a pile on the top of a deli container lid. Take a second deli container lid and place the top of it against the meat. Press down evenly and firmly and watch as a perfect patty forms. Repeat with the remaining meat. Make an indentation in the middle of each patty with your thumb to keep the burger from shrinking as it cooks.
- Sprinkle each patty on both sides with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Lightly brush the grill grates with oil. Grill the patties, indentation-side up, until marked on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm, about 4 more minutes for medium-rare. For cheeseburgers, top with 1 slice cheese during the last minute of cooking if desired; cover the grill to melt. Remove to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
- While the burgers cook, place the onion slices on the grill (try to keep them together in a disk). Cook until they are golden on one side, about 4 minutes, then flip with a metal spatula and sprinkle generously with salt. Cook on the other side until the onions are lightly charred and softened through, about 4 minutes, and transfer to a plate.
- Right before serving, toast the buns cut-side down on the grill. Top the bottom bun with a burger patty and layer with grilled onion, lettuce and a slice of tomato. Spread the inside of the top of each bun with some mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup. Arrange the pickle chips on top. Flip over to top the burgers and secure with a toothpick if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Form ground beef (preferably chuck) into 6-ounce patties and make an indentation in each. Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil, then grill the patties, indentation-side up, until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm, about 3 more minutes for medium doneness. For cheeseburgers, top with 2 slices cheese during the last minute of cooking; cover the grill to melt.
Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef: 80/20 ground beef is the best choice for grilled hamburgers. It has enough fat to keep the burgers juicy and flavorful, but not so much that they're greasy.
- Season the beef well: Don't be afraid to season the beef generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Form the burgers gently: Handle the beef gently when forming the burgers. Overworking the beef will make the burgers tough.
- Make a thumbprint in the center of each burger: This will help the burgers cook evenly and prevent them from shrinking too much.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help the burgers cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Flip the burgers only once: Flipping the burgers too often will make them dry and tough.
- Cook the burgers to your desired doneness: The USDA recommends cooking ground beef to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. However, some people prefer their burgers cooked to a lower temperature, such as 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the burgers rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the burgers, making them more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Making great grilled hamburgers is all about using the right ingredients, seasoning them well, and cooking them properly. By following these tips, you can make delicious burgers that everyone will love. Whether you like your burgers cooked rare, medium, or well-done, there's a perfect burger out there for everyone. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
