  4. Place the burger patties onto the preheated grill and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare burgers, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135\u00b0F; for medium, 140-145\u00b0F; and for well-done, 160\u00b0F or higher.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. While the burgers are grilling, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill until golden brown and warmed through.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Once the burgers are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes before assembling your burgers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. To serve, place each burger patty on a toasted bun and top with your favorite burger toppings. Whether you prefer classic fixings like lettuce, tomato, and onion, or you’re feeling adventurous with avocado slices and bacon, the choice is yours!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
