- Preheat the grill to Medium High Heat.
- Add the burgers to the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side, then flip. Cook until they reach your desired doneness. While they are cooking brush another 1 to 2 TBS of the sauce over the top of the burgers.

Notes
- Burger Temperatures: Check the internal temperature of the burger patties with a meat thermometer. You'll cook the patties to 125°F for Rare. 135°F for Medium Rare. 145°F for Medium. 155°F for Medium Well, and 160°F for Well done. The FDA recommends cooking ground beet to 160°F for safety.
- Do Not Overwork the Meat: We want the burgers juicy, and tender. If the meat is over handled and overworked it will be tough.
- Add Your Favorite Burger Toppings: Add Lettuce, Tomatoes, Red Onion, or any of your favorite burger toppings!
