Mike's 1 lb Juicy Grilled Burger Palooza!
It's the weekend so tonight was once again, "Dealer's Choice," for all of my tiny 7 And 8 year old students! It was grilled hamburger night and their only requirement was to build a juicy, delicious, totally imaginative burger.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Here's only half of what you'll need! 😆 Sorry, my student couldn't fit everything into one photo.
* Step 2
Mix 2 pounds ground beef with 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix with small chunks of cheddar cheese. Add fresh ground black pepper and Worshestershire Sauce to taste. This will make 2 oversized burgers.
* Step 3
Sauté your onions in olive oil, butter, fresh ground black pepper and fresh parsley until browned and translucent.
* Step 4
Pat patties down and add folded cheese to the center. My student used Velveeta Cheese here.
* Step 5
Place double patties together. Pinch and seal edges tightly.
* Step 6
Season with salt, fresh ground black pepper, granulated garlic and granulated onion.
* Step 7
Place one pound patties on a hot, clean grill.
* Step 8
Over a very hot flame, place burgers and give her a good char. Two minutes on each side should do it.
* Step 9
Then, move to indirect heat and allow meat to grill for 3 to 5 minutes on each side - depending upon thickness.
* Step 10
You'll know they're done when the cheese begins to ooze out. Or, pierce the center. If the fluids run clear - you're good to go.
* Step 11
Place cheese on burgers and cover until cheese has melted. About 1 minute.
* Step 12
Coat your buns with garlic butter and grill until crispy and charred. Usually 40 seconds.
* Step 13

* Step 15
Build your burger any way you choose to! Or, allow your guests to choose their own style and grill it for them. Just make sure to give them endless options. Feel free to get creative with these bad boys! Enjoy!
