These burgers are super juicy in the middle, with crispy edges, and only take about 10 minutes to prepare. The secret to making them is to cook them in a skillet and not on the grill, so they maintain their juiciness. Top them with your favorite burger fixings, like lettuce, onion rings, cheese, and tomatoes.

- Without disturbing the patties, cook until the outer edges are dark brown.
- Next, turn the patties over and cook for 1 minute. Then add cheese and cook until your desired doneness.
