Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, then form into two burger patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and BBQ Sauce

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of smoked cheddar cheese on top of each patty and spoon BBQ sauce over the cheese. Cover the grill or skillet to melt the cheese.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Remove the patties from the heat and place them on burger buns. Add additional BBQ sauce if desired, and any other toppings you like (lettuce, onions, pickles, etc.). Serve immediately.
