Directions

1. In a medium bowl, working gently, mix ground beef with all burger ingredients except buns.
2. Divide the mixture into 4 quarters and lightly form into patties about 1" thick.
3. Place patties on an oiled outdoor grill (or you can cook in a skillet) and cook, turning once, about 10-15 minutes or until cooked to desired doneness. You can add the cheese slices onto the burgers a few minutes before they are done to melt if desired.
4. Meanwhile, open buns and toast on grill until lightly browned. Place cooked burgers on buns and top with desired toppings.
