Notes

If using a grill pan heat the pan over high heat on top of the stove. Cook the burgers according to directions above.

If using a sauté pan or grilled (preferably cast iron); Heat oil in the pan over high heat until oil begins to simmer. Cook burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about three minutes, flip. Continue to cook until golden brown about 6 minutes or until cooked to desired doneness.

If adding cheese to the tops of the burgers you want to do this during the last minute of cooking, cover grill or tent the burgers with aluminum foil in a pan to melt the cheese.
