How to Make Hamburgers on a George Foreman Grill

Turn on the George Foreman Grill for at least five minutes. When grilling a hamburger, searing the outside is important, so you will want the grill at a high temperature when you put the meat on.

Prepare your hamburger patty. Divide the ground beef into the size portion that you wish for your hamburger, and roll it into a ball. Gently flatten the hamburger between your hands into a round disk. The ideal thickness for a hamburger on a George Foreman Grill is between 1/4 and 3/8 inches.

Place the hamburger on the George Foreman Grill. You will want to grill your hamburger 4 minutes on the George Foreman Grill for a medium done burger. For medium-well, grill it 6 minutes; for a well done hamburger, grill it 8 minutes.

Open the grill for the last minute of the grilling period and place your choice of cheese on the hamburger. This will allow the cheese to melt slightly.

Remove the hamburger and place it on a paper towel or plate to drain any remaining grease off the hamburger. While the hamburger cools, spray each half of your hamburger bun with vegetable oil lightly and place each side that was sprayed on a cooking surface. Do not close the grill. After a minute, your bun will have a crisp surface, allowing it to hold condiments such as ketchup and mustard without them being overly absorbed into the bun.
