3. Form the beef mixture into 4 equal patties, slightly larger than the burger buns.

5. Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness.

7. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or skillet for about 1 minute, until lightly golden.

9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
