This recipe guides you through making massive 1-pound 'King Burgers' on the grill. Ground beef is mixed with seasoning, steak sauce, and onion, formed into large patties, and grilled for 20-25 minutes until done, ready to be served on a bun.
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.

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.
