Man I completely forgot to post up my Independence Day Grill.
We did Bacon Cheeseburgers, ABTs, Potato Salad, Chips and Watermelon

Bacon

Burgers

80/20 chuck lightly handled into 3/4lb patties and nicely seasoned with Cajun spice, black pepper and salt
Grilled over high heat for a nice sear
Add cheese and get a nice melt

My tips for great burgers

Do not over handle the meat and do not mix spices into it
Season the unformed chunk of chuck and then gently form the patty
Leave them thick and form a deep divot in the center, I use my thumb, this divot keeps them from shrinking up
Sear them well, this is beef, I cook to medium-medium well

Thanks for the comments/Likes guys, appreciate it.

@Bearcarver
LoL.... Yeah, my family told me that I have to make the burgers thinner from now on.
I've always been told I've a BIG Mouth but even I had to deconstruct it a bit to eat it.

Yeah, but with a Sammy that Pretty, it makes you wish you could unhinge your Jaw, like a Snake!!

I used to be able to find some 8" pretzel buns, you could make some heavyweight patties, wide not thick, and still eat'em up normally... Serious burger time.
