Burger King's Flame-Grilled Burger (Copycat Recipe)

This classic flame-grilled burger captures the essence of the iconic Burger King taste with a juicy beef patty, smoky flavor, and fresh toppings. Perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, this burger is a satisfying meal that brings the fast-food experience home while adhering to traditional cooking methods.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 slices American cheese
• Lettuce leaves
• Tomato slices
• Pickles
• Ketchup
• Mustard

Instructions:

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, kosher salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined.
3. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
4. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
5. Flip the patties and place a slice of American cheese on each. Grill for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
6. While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill until golden brown.
7. Assemble the burgers by placing the grilled patty on the bottom half of the bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Place the top half of the bun on the burger.
8. Serve immediately with your favorite side.
