Tips for Grilling Ground Beef:

* Don't over-crowd the grill: Leave some space between patties or skewers for even cooking.

* Use a meat thermometer: Make sure ground beef reaches an internal temperature of 160°F for safe consumption.

* Don't press down on the patties: This will release juices and result in a dry burger.

* Flip only once: Flipping too often can lead to uneven cooking.

* Rest after grilling: Let the cooked ground beef rest for a few minutes before serving.
