1 lb. ground beef of choice
1 small Vidalia onion
1 small clove garlic
2 tbsp. Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. a1 steak sauce
2 tbsp. McCormick Grill Mates® Montreal steak seasoning
slices of Finlandia chipotle jack cheese (see note)

Mince onion and garlic. Combine all ingredients by folding the beef, making sure that the onion and spices are mixed throughout. Form hamburger patties to desired size. Optionally, rub extra steak seasoning to the outside of beef patties.

Heat grill until grates are hot and cook burgers on the open flame until all meat is charred and cooked to your liking.

You could also move the coals to one side of the grill (or heat just one side of your gas grill) and place a drip pan (a broiler pan does the trick) underneath the grates on the other side. Add 1 part red wine, red wine vinegar or beer and 3 parts water to the pan. Sear the burgers on the open flame, then move the burgers over the drip pan the and cook them indirectly for approximately 20 minutes (depends on the thickness of burgers) at 200°F. Flavored charcoal briquettes or wood chips can be used to optimize the indirect method for smoking.

Note: Other Finlanda brand cheese are also great on burgers such as Jalapeno Munster and Swiss. Amount of cheese depends on the number of burgers you form from the meat. Always break the slices of cheese in two and place them on the burgers criss-cross to allow it to melt evenly. Add cheese about 2 minutes before the end of cooking time.
