1
Form the Patty
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Gently mix to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat. Form into a patty that is slightly larger than the burger bun.
2
Cook the Patty
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until it reaches the desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of smoked cheddar on top of the patty to melt.

3
Prepare the Buns
While the burger is cooking, slice the burger bun in half and toast it lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
4
Assemble the Burger
Spread BBQ sauce on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Place the cooked patty with melted cheddar cheese on top. Add crispy onions and house pickles on top of the patty. Finish with the top half of the bun.
