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
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
