PLACE burgers in the refrigerator to chill and firm up while you start a fire in the grill.
6
Grill over direct heat about 5 to 6 minutes per side.
7

8
While burgers are grilling, brush the insides of the rolls with melted butter.
9
Place on the grill, cut side down, to toast lightly.
10
Serve with Brooklyn Ketchup and your favorite toppings.

For Brooklyn Ketchup: BEAT all the ingredients together in a small bowl or cup.
