Picked up some 80/20 ground chuck and wanna do some burgers tonight. Too cold for the grill so I'll be firing up the cast iron skillet. Any tips or tricks would be great.

Make patties loosely. Add salt. Maybe pepper. Cook.

Season beef and form into balls
Heat skillet
Put meat ball onto skilled for about 30-45 seconds (enough time for the part touching the skillet to brown)
Flip over and smash down with spatula. This creates a non-dense smashed burger without squeezing out any fat or juices)
Flip once

Press them firmly and often with a spatula to seal in the juices.

My go to burger recipe is as follows:
Buy chuck roast
Grind chuck roast
Set oven to broil @500
Place cast iron in oven
Form pattys to between 1/3-1/2 pound
Liberally salt and pepper
Take skillet out when oven is @ 500
Place burger in skillet and then back in oven
10 minutes for medium well and 13 for well
I use a #10 and can usually get 3 in the skillet.
And I almost forgot American Cheese.

Huh? What are you using? A burger needs fat.

What's wrong with using 80/20 outside of grinding my own?

I heard of the smash method but have never tried it. Will experiment tonight.

But don't do what TiA told you about smashing it continuously.
Main thing is not to overwork the meat and don't turn it until is loosens from the skillet.
I use 80/20 all the time. No issues with that. Burgers come out delicious.

It was a poor attempt at humor on my part.

80/20 is fine for grilling

Should have added an 
to give people a hint.
We all know you don't know how to cook, but the OP might not.

I do similar. But I go 5 minutes, flip and 5 more minutes. then rest.
I also use a grill pan thus keeping the grease at the bottom.

I've never had that happen with a cast iron skillet burger. The fat usually browns up, but I use high heat.

Hope you have a gas stove
