Ingredients for All American Hamburgers

  • 85% Lean Ground Beef
  • Dry Onion Soup Mix
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • American Cheese
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • Buns
  • 8 leaves lettuce

How to Make All American Hamburgers

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 2 lbs ground beef, 1 packet onion soup mix, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Mix just until blended; do not overwork the meat.
  2. Shape the mixture into eight 1/4-pound patties.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Grill patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached (internal temperature of 160°F). Brush frequently with your favorite BBQ sauce during grilling.
  5. Top each patty with 1 slice of your favorite cheese during the last minute of grilling.
  6. Continue grilling until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. To assemble each burger, place a patty on a toasted bun.
  8. Top with lettuce, pickle slices, and tomato slices.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
