Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey BBQ Sauce
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1½ tablespoons seasoned salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- For the Toppings:
- 8 hamburger buns
- 16 frozen onion rings, cooked according to package instructions
- 8 slices cheddar cheese
- Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey BBQ Sauce (for topping)
- Lettuce
- Sliced tomato
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Brush and lightly oil the grates.
- In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until fully combined.
- Shape the mixture into 8 round burger patties. Use your thumb to make a small indent in the center of each.
- Sprinkle the remaining ½ tablespoon seasoned salt over the patties.
- Grill the burgers for 3–4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Add cheddar cheese slices in the last minute of grilling to melt.
- Assemble the burgers: On each bun, layer lettuce, tomato, the grilled cheeseburger patty, a spoonful of honey BBQ sauce, and 2 crispy onion rings. Top with the bun and serve.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef for juicier burgers without excessive grease.
- Make a thumbprint in the patties to help them cook evenly and prevent puffing.
- Toast the buns on the grill for added texture and flavor.
