How to Make on the Grill
How to Make on the Stove
Follow Steps 1-2. Brush a 12-inch cast iron pan with oil and set it over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes to preheat. Set two portions on opposite sides in the skillet and firmly press down on them with a cast iron press (or large metal spatula) until they are about 4 inches wide. Cook the patties, undisturbed, until the outer edges are dark caramel brown. Flip the burgers and cook 1 minute. Add cheese and cook until desired doneness, about 1 more minute for medium-well. Follow Step 7.
Freeze For Later: Season the ground beef with Lawry’s Seasoning Salt and mix it in gently by hand. Loosely roll ground beef into golf ball-sized meatballs. You should have 10-12 meatballs when you’re done. Place them in a freezer bag or airtight container and freeze.
Prepare From Frozen: Let ground beef safely thaw using one of these methods. Follow Steps 3-7.
