BBQ Beef Cheeseburgers
Ingredients
PULSE:
GRILL:
Control what goes into your burgers by grinding your own meat. Trim and cube the meat then pulse in a food processor until coarsely ground.
Instructions
Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush grill grate with oil.
Pulse beef in two batches in a food processor until coarsely ground; mix in salt and pepper.
Divide beef into four 5–6-oz. portions. Use a fork to shape beef into 4-inch patties; coat both sides with nonstick spray.
Grill patties, covered, 3 minutes. Flip patties and grill until a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 155°, 3–5 minutes more. Top patties with Cheddar and grill until it melts, 1–2 minutes; transfer to a plate, tent with foil, and let rest 3–4 minutes.
Grill onions, covered, until lightly charred, 3 minutes per side. Grill buns, uncovered, until toasted, about 1 minute.
Serve burgers on buns with bacon, barbecue sauce, and onions.
