Instructions

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  • In a large bowl, add 1½ pounds 90% lean ground beef, 1½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 1½ teaspoons McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning, and 1 crushed clove garlic. Gently mix until just combined.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty.
  • Place the patties on the preheated grill. Cook until they reach your desired doneness, flipping once; about 7–9 minutes per side is typical for medium.
  • About 1–2 minutes before the patties are done, put 1 slice of Swiss cheese on each patty and close the grill lid until the cheese melts.
  • If you want toasted buns, split the 4 hamburger buns and place them cut side down on the grill for 1–2 minutes, until lightly toasted.
  • Divide the ½ cup caramelized onions into four portions (about 2 tablespoons each).
  • To serve, place each cheeseburger on a toasted bun and top each with one portion (≈2 tablespoons) of caramelized onions.

Equipment

  • Grill or Indoor Grill Pan

Notes

See our post onhow to easily cook caramelized onions.
Don’t overwork the beef mixture or the burgers can become tough and chewy. Everything should be just combined.
Don’t be tempted to press the burgers down on the grill or keep flipping them. Let them cook without constantly moving them.
