Summer’s Best: Juicy Grilled Burgers with Cheddar & Smoky Corn on the Cob

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp salt. Mix just until combined, avoiding overworking the meat.
2. 2

   Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Form each into a patty about 3/4 to 1 inch thick, slightly wider than the buns. Create a shallow indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb.
3. 3

   Place husked corn on a plate. Drizzle with olive oil and rub to coat. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
4. 4

   Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400-450°F / 200-230°C). Clean and lightly oil the grates.
5. 5

   Place seasoned corn directly on the grill. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until kernels are tender and slightly charred.
6. 6

   Place burger patties on the hot grill. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium. Avoid pressing down on the burgers.
7. 7

   During the last minute of burger cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Close lid for 30 seconds to melt. Lightly toast buns on the grill, cut-side down, until golden (30-60 seconds).
8. 8

   Remove burgers and buns from grill. Let burgers rest for 2-3 minutes. Assemble: bottom bun, patty with cheese, desired toppings, and top bun. Serve immediately with grilled corn.
