• To keep the burgers juicy, avoid pressing them down with a spatula while cooking.
• If you prefer a cheeseburger, top the patties with your favorite cheese during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

Storage and Serving

• These burgers are best served immediately while they are still hot and juicy.
• If you have leftovers, store the cooked patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the patties in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
• Serve the reheated burgers on fresh buns with your favorite toppings.
