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.
Grill the Burgers: Grill the burgers for 2 minutes on each side, then move them to a lower-heat area of the grill. Cook another 2-3 minutes for medium-rare burgers, 3-4 minutes for medium, or 5-6 minutes for well-done burgers. In the last minute of cooking, lay a slice of cheese on top of each burger and arrange the buns over high heat to toast.
