This is best burger! Since we've had this burger we can eat no other. One modification: I made on the stove in a large skillet that using high heat (skillet well-heated before the meat goes in near center) then I move the paties (only two at time) to outer edges and reduced the heat to medium-low.

Am I the only one who DOESN'T see an amount listed for the salt and pepper? I think that means you should use your own judgement.

The salt and pepper was a bit of an overkill but halved was superb ! Perfect second time around with the S

Does this seem like a lot of salt and pepper to anyone else?
