Brush the grill rack with vegetable oil when ready. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook about 6 minutes. With a spatula, turn over the patties and cook an additional four minutes.

Place the rolls, cut side down, on the outer edges of the grill rack to toast lightly.

To assemble: Place a lettuce leaf on bottom of roll, add a dollop of topping, burger, another dollop of topping, another lettuce leaf and roll top. Enjoy!
