These savory BBQ cheeseburgers are a delightful twist on the classic burger, featuring a flavorful blend of ingredients and a cheesy topping.
Combine the ground beef, barbecue sauce, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed for consistent flavor in every bite.
Gradually add the breadcrumbs to the mixture until it reaches a firm consistency.
Add the breadcrumbs slowly to avoid over-drying the mixture.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty.
Make the patties slightly larger than the buns, as they will shrink during cooking.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
Avoid pressing down on the patties while grilling to retain their juices.
Top each patty with shredded cheese during the last minute of grilling to melt.
Cover the grill briefly to help the cheese melt evenly.
Serve the patties on buns with your favorite toppings and enjoy.
Toast the buns on the grill for added texture and flavor.
