Ingredients for Barbequed Cheddar Burgers

  • Lean Ground Beef
  • Barbecue Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Black Pepper
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese

How to Make Barbequed Cheddar Burgers

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/4 cup BBQ sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gently form into 4 equal-sized patties (about 3/4 inch thick).
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  3. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness.
  4. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to allow it to melt.
  5. Serve immediately on your favorite buns with your preferred toppings.

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!
