Divide each pound of ground beef into 4ths. Roll into 8 balls of beef.
Heat your griddle to 375 to 400 degrees. You want it hot when the beef hits the grill. When the grill is hotplace the 8 ground beef balls on the hot griddle and allow them to sit there for a few minutes. The beef will start to carmalize, that's what you want.
In still a ball formation, flip it over, then with a solid spatula, or another type of press, smash the ground beef ball down to a pretty thin patty. Try to make them uniform as much as possible. Salt and pepper the patties after you smashed them.
Allow them to cook on the first side for about 5 minutes or so, then flip them over to cook on the other side. Immediately add the cheese. By the time the cheese has melted, the burgers will be done. If you're making double-double, stack a patty onto another patty. Prepare your buns.
I butter my buns and heat them on the grill turning to toast both sides. Add your favorite spread to the buns. Add a lettuce leaf to the bottom, then the onions, pickles and tomatoes, topping with your double meat and double cheese patties. Place the top on and get ready for the juices to run down your arm!!! Enjoy!
