Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
- Shape the mixture into burger patties.
- Grill the patties about 4 inches from the coals for approximately 7 minutes on each side.
- Serve the burgers on toasted buns with a slice of sweet Vidalia onion.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or fresh herbs like parsley to the meat mixture. If you prefer a leaner burger, ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for the ground chuck. To prevent the burgers from sticking to the grill, lightly oil the grates before cooking. Remember to let the patties rest for a few minutes after grilling to retain their juices.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the burgers on toasted buns topped with a slice of sweet Vidalia onion, and consider adding toppings like lettuce, tomato, or pickles for added crunch. Pair these delicious beef burgers with classic sides such as French fries or a fresh salad. For a sweet finish, try serving with a slice of Peg'S Famous Ice Cream Torte for dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cooked burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side, or microwave them for 1-2 minutes, covered, until heated through. Avoid reheating multiple times to maintain quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these burgers ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the burger patties in advance. Shape them and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before grilling. This allows the flavors to meld and makes for a quick dinner option when you're ready to cook.
What is the best way to know when my burgers are done?
The best way to check if your burgers are cooked to a safe temperature is to use a meat thermometer. For medium doneness, aim for an internal temperature of 160°F. If you prefer a more well-done burger, cook until it reaches 165°F.
Can I freeze the uncooked patties?
Absolutely! You can freeze uncooked burger patties by placing parchment paper between each one to prevent sticking. Once wrapped in plastic wrap or in a freezer bag, they can be stored for up to 3 months. Just thaw them in the refrigerator before grilling.
