Shape the mixture into 4 uniform patties, pressing down gently to achieve a thickness of roughly 1/2 inch, ensuring they cook evenly throughout.

Place the patties in the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Sear for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until they are nicely browned and fully cooked. Monitor the bottoms closely to avoid burning and ensure the burgers are cooked thoroughly.

Once the burgers are finished, transfer them onto the buns, add your favorite toppings, and serve right away.

Ensure the grill is thoroughly cleaned prior to cooking and apply a spray of oil to prevent sticking.
