A delightful twist on classic burgers, featuring a cheesy surprise and tangy BBQ flavor.
Combine the ground beef with salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the patties tough.
Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty on wax paper.
Use wax paper to prevent sticking and ensure uniform thickness.
Mix barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, and mustard in a small bowl.
Adjust the sauce ingredients to taste for a sweeter or tangier flavor.
Spread the sauce evenly on 4 of the patties.
Leave a small border around the edges to prevent the sauce from leaking out.
Top each sauced patty with a slice of cheddar and a slice of Swiss cheese.
Layer the cheeses for a balanced flavor profile.
Cover each filled patty with another patty and seal the edges tightly.
Press out any air pockets to ensure even cooking.
Grill the patties over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 160°F for safety.
Serve the patties on buns with your favorite toppings.
Toast the buns for added texture and flavor.
