Equipment

  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Measuring Utensils For salt and sauce
  • 1 Barbecue Grill
  • 1 Grill Spatula Sturdy for flipping large patties

Ingredients
  

Main

  • 5 pounds ground beef
  • 3 tablespoons seasoning salt
  • 2 ounces steak sauce recommended: A-1 Steak Sauce
  • 3 ounces onions finely chopped
  • 5 large hamburger buns

Instructions
 

  • Preheat barbecue to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl combine the ground beef, seasonings salt, sauce, and onions. Thoroughly mix all the ingredients together. Divide the meat into individual 1 pound patties.
  • Once the barbecue has reached 400 degrees F, place the patties directly onto the grill above the direct heat. Cook the patty on 1 side for at least 5 minutes, then turn the patty over and cook for another 5 minutes. Repeat this process for about 20 to 25 minutes or until desired doneness is reached.
  • Place beef patty on a hamburger bun dressed with your favorite condiments and enjoy!

Notes

Handling 1-pound patties requires careful attention. Ensure your grill is evenly heated. Cook over direct heat initially for a good sear, then consider moving to indirect heat if needed to finish without burning the outside, especially if aiming for less than well-done. Always use a thermometer to check internal temperature if preferred; 160°F (71°C) is recommended for ground beef safety. Do not overwork the meat mixture, which can result in tough burgers. Allowing the patties to rest for a few minutes off the heat before serving helps the juices redistribute.
