Ways To Grill Hot Dogs And Hamburgers

One can never go wrong serving grilled hamburgers or hot dogs. Kids of all ages love to eat them, especially now that it’s summertime. Grilling isn’t hard to do. It is actually quite simple and doesn’t take long to do. This is one reason why you almost always find hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill during any barbecue you attend. Besides, what’s a barbecue without hamburgers and hot dogs?

The first step to grilling is buying high-quality meat. You want the best tasting yet nutritious beef or turkey meat to grill. We recommend Hillshire Farms which offers various sausages and links in different flavors. Keep in mind when picking out your hamburger meat that the leaner the ground beef you buy, the drier your burgers will be. You can get a tennis ball-sized piece of beef and flatten it into a patty but be sure the patty is the same thickness along the edges as in the middle.

The next step is seasoning the hamburger meat. A good burger isn’t any different than any other piece of meat you cook or grill. Use plenty of salt and pepper, but you don’t have to shy away from other seasonings. A nice sprinkling of herbs and spices will give you burger additional flavor. Once your patties are formed and seasoned then they are ready to be placed on the grill.

If you are not grilling the burgers right away then you can stack the ground beef patties on a plate. Separate the burger patties with pieces of waxed paper and refrigerate them until it is time to grill. Get your grill up to a high heat. Some people prefer to use gas grills while others like to use charcoal grills. As far as the taste goes no one can really tell the difference between hamburgers grilled on a charcoal grill as opposed to gas. But if you’re cooking steak, it is noticeable; a charcoal grilled steak has more distinct smoke flavor.

Make sure your grill is clean then place the hamburger patties on the clean, well-oiled grill grate. Grill the burgers over high heat for about 5 minutes per side. A hamburger is considered cooked to medium when the thermometer reads 160 degrees F after being inserted to the middle. When grilling your hot dogs be sure to turn them often until they’re slightly blistered on all sides. After your burgers and hot dogs are grilled always transfer them to a clean plate; not the same plate that held the raw meat. You can brush your buns with melted butter and briefly toast them on the grill too. One of the best hot dog meats to use is Hillshire Farms. They make sausages, links and delicious lunchmeats.
