Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making an indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat the olive oil in a grill or frying pan over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill or pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each one. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, slice the red onion and tomato. Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster. On the bottom half of each bun, spread a tablespoon of BBQ sauce. Add a lettuce leaf, followed by the cheesy beef patty, a slice of tomato, and a few rings of red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with extra BBQ sauce on the side, if desired.
