Steps:
- Place ground chuck, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir or use your hands to combine.
- Form four patties that are about 3/4 inch thick.
- Clean your grill. It is important to start with a clean grill. The burgers will taste better, the burgers will not stick, and it helps you make those pretty grill marks on your burger patty.
- Set or moderate your temperature to cook the burgers on medium-low to medium heat. My preferred temperature is 350 degrees F. You can test the temperature with a Thermapen if your grill does not have a thermostat.
- Place the patties on the grill. Once you have placed the patties on the grill try to turn them only once. The more often you turn the burgers the more likely you are to squeeze out the juices.
- Burgers should cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side. You can test the temperature of the patty by inserting a meat thermometer into the patty. Ground meat patties should reach a temperature of 160 degrees F.
- Place a slice of cheese on top of each patty just before they are done so the cheese will be slightly melted.
- Remove the patties from the grill.
- Assemble your burger with your preferred toppings.

ULTIMATE BACKYARD BURGER
Steps:
- For the ketchup: Saute the shallots and garlic in the olive oil in a large skillet over low heat until translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the honey and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the tomatoes, corn syrup, vinegar, sugar and chipotle puree and simmer for 30 minutes. Puree the mixture in a blender or food processor, adding vegetable stock if the ketchup is too thick. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the mustard aioli: Combine the lemon juice and egg yolk in a food processor. Whisk together the canola and olive oil, and then slowly stream in until the mixture is thick and emulsified. Alternatively, this can be done in a mixing bowl with a whisk. Add the mustard, mustard powder and salt and combine. Season with more salt if needed.
- For the burger: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat the grill to high heat. Brush both sides of the bacon with some of the smoked chili ketchup. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Gently fold the butter into the ground meat along with the paprika and cumin. Form the beef mixture into 6 patties, and sprinkle both sides liberally with salt and black pepper.
- Brush the brioche buns on each side with olive oil and grill the insides until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Grill the burgers until medium rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Once you flip the burger, add a thick slice of the cheese to each and keep the cover closed to let melt.
- Spread the mustard aioli on one side of the buns and the smoked chili ketchup on the other. Place the burgers on the bun cheese-side up and top each with 2 strips of bacon.
Tips:
- Choose the right beef. Use a blend of 80% lean and 20% fat ground beef for the best flavor and texture.
- Season the beef simply. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all you need for a delicious burger.
- Don't overwork the beef. Mix the ingredients together gently, just until combined. Overworking the beef will make it tough.
- Form the burgers into patties. Make the patties about 3/4-inch thick and 4 inches in diameter.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent the burgers from drying out.
- Don't flip the burgers too often. Flip the burgers only once, when they are cooked about halfway through.
- Let the burgers rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the burgers, making them more flavorful.
Conclusion:
These are just a few tips for making the ultimate backyard burger. With a little practice, you'll be a burger-flipping pro in no time! So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy some delicious burgers with your friends and family.
