Note
For best results, handle the beef mixture as little as possible to keep the patties tender.
If using a gas grill, ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Serve immediately while the cheese is still melted and the buns are warm.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet to maintain texture.
