Grill patties, uncovered, 11-13 minutes turning occasionally to medium (160 F) doneness until no longer pink in center and juices show no pink color. Grill onions 15-20 minutes or until tender; turn occasionally and brush with oil. Season patties with salt and pepper, to taste.
- About 1 minute before removing burgers from grill, put crumbled or shredded cheese (blue cheese, smoked mozzarella, goat cheese, feta, etc.) on 4 patties to melt.
