How to Make Barbecued Cheddar Burgers
- In a large bowl, combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup BBQ sauce, and 1 large egg, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Shape half of the meat mixture into eight 1/2-inch thick patties.
- Shape the remaining meat mixture into four 1-inch thick patties.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill patties for 6-8 minutes per side for the 1/2-inch patties and 8-10 minutes per side for the 1-inch patties, or until cooked to medium-well. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking.
- Place the cooked burgers on the bottom halves of your buns.
- Top with lettuce, tomato slices, and the top halves of the buns. Serve immediately and enjoy!
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.
