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.
