How to Make Barbecue Cheeseburgers
- In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in tough burgers.
- Shape the meat mixture into 6 equal patties, about 1-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging during cooking.
- Lightly oil a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Alternatively, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place the patties on the hot surface. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
- During the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, top each burger with a slice of cheese and some sliced onions. Allow the cheese to melt completely.
- Toast the sesame seed buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
- Serve the barbecue cheeseburgers on toasted buns. Top with lettuce and tomato slices.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
