Michael's Hamburgers

1. 1

   Place ground meat in large bowl.

2. 2

   Add salt and pepper, and mix lightly with hands.

3. 3

   Shape meat into thick, one-third-pound patties, being careful not to press too hard.

4. 4

   (The patties should be neither too thin nor too dense, so that they retain their juiciness when grilled.)

5. 5

   Set patties on a plate and salt liberally.

6. 6

   Grill the patties over mesquite charcoal grill until medium-rare.

7. 7

   Just before the burgers come off the fire, grill buns lightly.
