How to Make Hot N Spicy Cheeseburgers

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, green bell peppers, cumin, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in tough burgers.
  2. Shape the beef mixture into 8 patties, about 1-inch thick.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grates well.
  4. Place the patties on the grill rack. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  5. Flip the burgers and brush generously with BBQ sauce.
  6. During the last minute of grilling, place a cheese slice on each burger.
  7. Close the grill lid and allow the cheese to melt completely.
  8. While the burgers are grilling, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
  9. Serve the hot and spicy cheeseburgers immediately on the toasted buns. Enjoy!
