Steps:

Gently toss one portion of meat back and forth between hands to form loose ball. Gently flatten into 3/4" thick patty that measures about 4 1/2" in diameter. Press center of patty down with fingertips until it is about 1/2" thick, creating slight depression in each patty. Repeat with remaining portions of meat.

Using wide metal spatula, flip burgers and continue grilling, about 4 minutes. Add cheese about 2 minutes before reaching desired doneness, covering burgers with disposable aluminum foil to melt cheese.
