upper plate is just slightly touching the tops of the mushrooms. Grill 30 seconds to 1
minute, or until grill marks are visible.
4. Keeping the top plate at 450˚F, reduce the bottom plate to Warm. Open the grill and evenly
divide the mushroom mixture among the tops of the grilled portabellos. Setting the cover
height adjuster at the highest notch, close the upper plate until it is sitting just above the
mushrooms. Let the mushrooms brown until the breadcrumb mixture is toasted, about 3 to
5 minutes.
5. Serve immediately.

Elite Cooking Position: Closed
Plate Side: Grill
Makes 6 servings
2 pounds ground beef round or chuck (freshly ground if possible)
1½ teaspoons sea or kosher salt
¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese, divided
1. Fit the grill with the grill plates and preheat both plates to 450˚F.
2. Working the ground chuck as little as possible, mix in a large bowl with the salt, pepper and
garlic powder. Shape into six 6-ounce patties, about 4 inches in diameter. The best way to
do this is to use a 4-inch round cookie cutter: Put 6 ounces of meat at a time into the
cookie cutter and gently press to evenly fill. All burgers should be the same thickness for
optimal results. Use your thumb to press a dimple into the center of each patty.
3. When the unit has preheated, place the burgers on the lower grill plate, evenly spaced.
Using the cover height adjuster, close the upper plate so the hinge is set to the position
where the upper grill plate is just sitting on the burgers without pressing them.
4. Contact grill for 5 minutes for rare burgers. Then open the unit and top with the blue
cheese, ½ tablespoon per burger. Setting the cover height adjuster, close the upper grill
plate so it is sitting over the blue cheese but not touching it. Grill for an additional 2
minutes, or until the cheese is just melted.
5. Remove burgers and serve immediately.
Note: For toasted buns, cut in half and grill in the closed position, with the adjustable hinge left
in the position where it was just touching the tops of the burgers. Grill for about 30 seconds
right after removing burgers.
