This BBQ Hamburger recipe combines juicy, seasoned ground beef with homemade BBQ sauce and provolone cheese, creating a flavorful and satisfying classic American BBQ meal perfect for any grilling occasion.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 hamburgers

Ingredients

For the Patties

  • 4 pounds lean ground beef
  • ½ cup white onion, finely diced
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • 3 Tbsp homemade hamburger seasoning
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

For Assembly

  • ½ cup homemade BBQ sauce
  • 12 slices provolone cheese
  • 12 hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the lean ground beef, finely diced white onion, eggs, breadcrumbs, homemade hamburger seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Shape the Patties: Divide the meat mixture evenly into 12 portions and shape each into a round, flat patty approximately the same diameter as the hamburger buns.
  3. Preheat the BBQ Grill: Light your grill and heat it to medium-high, around 375-400°F (190-204°C), preparing it for direct grilling of the patties.
  4. Grill the Patties: Place the patties on the grill grates and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness, flipping once. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy—target 160°F (71°C) for well-done beef.
  5. Add BBQ Sauce and Cheese: During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush each patty generously with homemade BBQ sauce and lay a slice of provolone cheese on top to melt slightly.
  6. Toast the Buns: Optionally, place the hamburger buns cut side down on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted and warm.
  7. Assemble the Burgers: Place each cooked patty with melted cheese onto a toasted bun bottom, add any additional toppings if desired, then cover with the bun top.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the BBQ hamburgers immediately with your favorite sides such as fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • For juicier burgers, avoid overmixing the meat mixture.
  • Use homemade BBQ sauce for fresh flavor; store-bought can be substituted if needed.
  • The homemade hamburger seasoning can include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Ensure the grill is clean and well-oiled to prevent patties from sticking.
  • Let cooked patties rest for a few minutes before assembling to retain juices.
