How to make the best burger

Cheeseburgers come in a lot of different shapes and sizes from 2-ounce sliders to big 8-ounce steak burgers. The key to cooking a good cheeseburger is similar to cooking a good steak. You want to be able to get a nice crusty cook on the outside but also make sure that the internal temperature is cooked to your liking.

Some people are okay with a little medium rare in their burgers. Some people will never eat at your house again if you serve them a slightly pink burger.

If you're cooking on a grill, it's important to have a hot side and a cooler side. That way you can start your burger on the hot side and get some caramelization on the meat. Then you can move over to the cooler side and let the temperature reach the center. You can achieve the same thing by finishing your hamburgers in the oven.
