Instructions

✅ First, make the burger seasoning by combining all spices in a bowl. 

✅ Then, Divide ground chuck into 6 equal portions and gently form into ½ inch thick patties that are wider than the burger buns, since the meat will shrink as it cooks. meantime grilled some onions as toppings too. 

✅ Use your thumb to press a gentle indentation into the center of each patty, which will help them cook evenly and not puff up in the center. Cover and set aside while preheating the grill.

✅ Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Just before cooking, sprinkle burger seasoning over the patties, then place on hot grill, indented-side up. Close grill lid and cook for around 4 minutes, until the bottom of the burger is seared and juices are accumulating on top of the burger. Flip and cook an additional 4 minutes. 

✅ Add cheese on top of the burger patties during the last minute of cooking. Remove to a plate and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving on a bun, with desired toppings.

✅ Serve soft drinks as well, it will give an awesome kick to the taste buds.
