Instructions

1. Preheat grill to high.

3. Place the burgers directly on the hot grill. Add the buns to the grill's top shelf to warm while you are cooking the burgers. Cook the burgers until desired doneness. Add cheese to each burger. Close the grill to melt. Top with the hash browns. Serve on the buns with ketchup, mustard and pickle and the top bun will be placed on top.
