Servings: 4
Calories: 313kcal
Ingredients
For the burgers:
- 1 ½ pounds ground chuck 80-85% lean
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons Worchestire sauce
Optional Toppings:
- 4-8 slices cheddar cheese
- sliced tomatoes
- french fried onions (or sliced red onions)
- cooked bacon slices
- ¼ cup BBQ sauce
- lettuce
- 4 burger buns
Instructions
- In a large bowl, gently mix ground beef with seasonings and Worchestire sauce. Be careful not to overmix.
- Form 4 large patties with the ground beef and set to the side. Or you can make burger "balls" to smash down onto a preheated griddle like we do in the video below.
- Preheat the grill to at least 400º Fahrenheit. Once grill has preheated cook burgers 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature tests 165ºF.
- Once burgers are just about done, top burgers with 1-2 slices of cheese. Continue to cook to allow cheese to melt.
- To assemble burgers, add lettuce to the top of the bottom bun, then a burger, then tomato, onions, barbecue sauce, french fried onions and bacon.
- Place the bun on top of the burger and serve.
