3 .  Once the grill has preheated, arrange the mini burgers on the bottom grill. Close, applying light pressure to handle for about 10 seconds . Grill for about one minute. Remove the burgers and place each in a bun.

4 .  Serve immediately.

Note: For toasted buns, halve and grill in the closed position for about 30 to 45 seconds to desired doneness. Remove and reserve, then grill burgers.
