I spray a frying pan with Pam, cook the burger on low, covered, about 9 or 10 minutes on one side and about 8 or 9 minutes on the other side. On the GF grill, I cook them about 10 minutes. Be sure to put the little tray in front of the grill to catch the grease.
When I first bring the hamburger home from the store, I season it with Spike or seasoned salt, seasoned pepper, onion powder, a pinch or two of sweet basil, then add chopped onion, green bell pepper, and a tablespoon or two of barbecue sauce. I form the hamburger patties, then put them in freezer bags and store in the freezer. This way, whenever I am in the mood for a hamburger, there is no preparation necessary. Yes, I cook them frozen, so the time I mentioned above allows for that. It's been a long time since I have cooked one that is fresh, but I think the time is about 8 minutes per side in the frying pan.
