80 % lean ground beef (your choice of package size depending on how many burgers you are making)
McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning
Tear off a piece of Saran wrap and place on counter. Use an ice cream scooper to get out a heaping scoop of ground beef--drop it into your hands and form into a ball. Place the ball in the bottom center of the plastic wrap--fold the other half of the Saran Wrap on top of the beef. Use a small plate to gently press down the beef to make the burger patty. Remember that the harder you press, the thinner the patty will be. If you like your burgers thick, it takes longer to cook them, especially the inside. Repeat until all of your ground beef has been made into burger patties. Set aside the burgers you are using right away, then place 4-6 burgers into two stacks and wrap them in aluminum foil--place packages in your freezer (by using both the Saran Wrap and the aluminum foil it keeps them from getting freezer burned). For the burgers you are making right away, turn your gas grill on LOW and place the burgers on the very top rack away from any flame--this help cook the insides of your burgers (if you are using a charcoal grill, don't put burgers on until all flames have died down). Sprinkle a generous amount of McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning on top of each burger. When the bottom sides start to turn gray in color, flip them and sprinkle more seasoning on the opposite sides. Once both sides of the burgers are gray, move burgers down to the bottom rack and cook until done to your liking (medium, well, etc.). Just before taking the burgers off of the grill, place burgers near open flame to get char broil lines on them. You may want to use a steak knife to cut into each burger to check if its done to your liking. When using frozen burgers, let them thaw on a plate before grilling them.
