Best Hamburger

Heat your grill to high heat.

Prepare the ground meat by sectioning it into 8 balls and gently pressing into domed patties. Be careful to not handle the meat much — the more you handle it, the tougher your burger will be.

Sprinkle salt on the tops of the burgers and allow to rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.

Open the grill and place patties salt side down on the grill.

Salt the other side and add a dot of butter (like a teaspoon or so).

Grill on each side for 2-3 minutes for medium rare, 3-4 for medium (how I like it), and 5-6 for well done. During the last minute of cooking, add the cheese to each burger and close the lid to allow the cheese to melt.

Meanwhile, slice open the challah buns and butter each half.

When you add the cheese on top of the patties, add the buns to the grill as well. (Place the buns cut side down). Grill only until grill marks appear.

Remove the buns from the grill and place two patties on the bottom bun.

Top with pickles and top lid of the bun.
