How to Make Acadia's Meatloaf Style Cheeseburgers

  1. Sauté 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, in 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat until translucent (about 5 minutes). Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine 2 lbs ground beef, 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, 1/2 cup bread crumbs, and 1 teaspoon garlic salt. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  3. Using a food scale, form the mixture into twelve 5-ounce patties. Press a small indentation in the center of each patty with your index finger to prevent bulging during cooking.
  4. Preheat grill to high heat. Grill patties for 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.
  5. Turn off the grill. Top each burger with 1 slice of your favorite cheese. Close the grill lid and let the cheese melt for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Gently reheat the sautéed onions in a small skillet over low heat for 1-2 minutes, or in the microwave for 30 seconds.
  7. Place the cheeseburgers on toasted buns and top with the warm sautéed onions.
  8. Enjoy your incredibly flavorful Acadia's Meatloaf-Style Cheeseburgers!
