Ingredients
For the burgers:
- 1 ½ pounds ground chuck 80-85% lean
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Optional Toppings:
- 4-8 lices cheddar cheese
- sliced tomatoes
- French fried onions (or sliced red onions)
- cooked bacon slices
- ¼ cup BBQ sauce
- lettuce
- 4 burger buns
Instructions
- In a large bowl, gently mix ground beef with seasonings and worcestershire sauce. Be careful not to overmix. 1 ½ pounds ground chuck, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
- Form 4 large patties with the ground beef and set to the side. Or you can make burger "balls" to smash down onto a preheated griddle like we do in the video below.
- Preheat the grill to at least 400º Fahrenheit. Once grill has preheated cook burgers 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature tests 165ºF. If smashing the patties, do that immediately after placing them on the grill.
- Once burgers are just about done, top burgers with 1-2 slices of cheese. Continue to cook to allow cheese to melt. 4-8 slices cheddar cheese
- To assemble burgers, add lettuce to the top of the bottom bun, then a burger, then tomato, onions, barbecue sauce, french fried onions and bacon. Place the bun on top of the burger and serve. sliced tomatoes, french fried onions, cooked bacon slices, ¼ cup BBQ sauce, lettuce, 4 burger buns
Notes
- The easiest way is to heat the grill to over 400ºF before you throw the patties on. Do this and you'll no longer have to use aluminum foil. No more meat sticking to the grill!
- The calories shown are based on the burgers only (no toppings), with the recipe making 4 large burgers and 1 serving being 1 burger. Since different brands of ingredients have different nutritional information, the calories shown are just an estimate. **We are not dietitians and recommend you seek a nutritionist for exact nutritional information.**
- You can also cook these burgers on the stove top in a cast iron skillet.
- Do you grill burgers with the lid open or closed? Leave the grill lid closed as much as possible. This just makes the oven have a more uniform heat which will help the burgers cook more evenly.
- How do you keep burgers from sticking to the grill? The easiest way is to heat the grill to over 400ºF before you throw the patties on. Do this and you'll no longer have to use aluminum foil. No more meat sticking to the grill!
- Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
