How to Grill Hamburgers
    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grill with oil and then arrange the hamburgers on the grill and cook on the first side for about 3 minutes. Flip the burgers and cook until they reach your preferred level of doneness by inserting an instant-read meat thermometer into the center of the hamburger, but at least 145º F. I recommend 160º F. Remove from the grill.
  2. Add the hamburger buns to the grill, interior side down, and grill for about 3 minutes.
Make Skillet Hamburgers
  1. Arrange hamburger patties in a skillet set over medium heat. Cook on the first side for 3 minutes. Flip the burgers and cook another 3 to 5 minutes until they reach your preferred level of doneness by inserting an instant-read meat thermometer into the center of the hamburger, but at least 145º F. I recommend 160º F. Remove from the skillet.
Make Ary Fryer Hamburgers
  1. Place hamburger patties into the air fryer basket and cook at 360º F for 5 minutes. Flip the burgers and cook another 3 to 5 minutes until they reach your preferred level of doneness by inserting an instant-read meat thermometer into the center of the hamburger, but at least 145º F. I recommend 160º F.
To serve
  1. Place each of the hamburgers onto a bun, add your favorite toppings and serve.
