Grill to Perfection: Place the patties on the preheated grill. Cover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness. For medium doneness (recommended), an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). (Cook time: 12-16 minutes)

Serve and Enjoy: Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and succulent burger.
For an enhanced flavor profile, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the mixture.
To prevent the patties from puffing up while grilling, make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb.
Experiment with different types of buns such as brioche, pretzel, or sesame seed for a unique twist.
Don't forget your favorite toppings! Lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, bacon, pickles, and various sauces can elevate your burger to new heights.
