Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.25 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces tomato slices
- 4 pieces red onion slices
- 0.25 cup additional barbecue sauce (for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, barbecue sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about ¾-inch thick. Use your thumb to make a slight indent in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking.
Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes on the other side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.
In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle each patty with shredded cheddar cheese, cover the grill or pan, and allow the cheese to melt.
Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun, followed by the cooked burger patty. Top each patty with a slice of tomato, a slice of red onion, and a drizzle of additional barbecue sauce. Finish with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries, coleslaw, or potato salad.
