How Long Do You Grill Hamburgers? The answer depends largely on the thickness of your patties. The best thickness for cooking is about 1/2 to 3/4 thick. Cook the patties for 10 to 16 minutes, until the hamburger patties reach an internal temperature of 155 degrees for 15 seconds at the thickest part of the patty. Don't rely on the color of the meat to judge doneness.
Pre-heat oven at very high temperature- around 500 degrees F. Set top oven shelf about 4-5 inches below broiler heat element. Place burger patties (not too thick) on an aluminum foil lined pan. Broil for about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on how well-done you want them. After removing from oven, cover patties with foil and allow to cool a few minutes, as they will finish cooking out of oven. To bake hamburgers, you need added moisture, so you can mix the hamburger with water, olive oil, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, etc.
