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.
1 Arrange the tomatoes and lettuce leaves on an attractive serving platter.  5. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the burgers on the hot grate, onion side down. Grill the burgers until cooked to taste, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. To test for doneness, insert an instant-read meat thermometer through the side of a burger into the center. The internal temperature should be about 145Â°F for medium-rare or, if using commercial ground beef, cook it to at least medium, 160Â°F.
