Ingredients for Barbecue Burgers

  • Lean Ground Beef
  • Barbecue Sauce
  • Barbecue Potato Chips
  • Onion Powder
  • Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cheese Slices

How to Make Barbecue Burgers

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Shape the meat mixture into 6 patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging during cooking.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  4. During the last minute of grilling, top each patty with 1-2 slices of your favorite cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack work well).
  5. Remove the burgers from the grill once the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately on toasted buns with your favorite burger toppings.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
