3. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 11-13 min. (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 7-8 min.), turning occasionally, until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers (160°F).
4. Line bottom of each bun with lettuce and tomato, if desired; top with burger and cheese slice. Close sandwiches.
