  • Total Time: 32 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

For the Burger Mixture

  • 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 the Toppings and Serving

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Burger Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely diced white onion, eggs, breadcrumbs, homemade hamburger seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat to keep the burgers tender.
  2. Form the Patties: Divide the mixture evenly into 12 portions and shape each into a round, evenly thick patty that matches the size of your hamburger buns.
  3. Preheat the Grill or Skillet: Heat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the surface is lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook the Burgers: Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side until browned and slightly charred. Flip the patties, brush each with the homemade BBQ sauce, and cook another 4-5 minutes until the burgers reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  5. Add Cheese: During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of provolone cheese on each patty, allowing it to melt.
  6. Toast the Buns: While the cheese melts, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or skillet until golden brown.
  7. Assemble the Burgers: Spread additional BBQ sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked burger with melted cheese on top, then cover with the top bun.
  8. Serve: Serve immediately while hot with your favorite sides and enjoy your delicious BBQ hamburgers.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and achieve a juicier burger.
  • Ensure not to overmix the beef to maintain tender burgers.
  • Homemade hamburger seasoning can include a blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Adjust cooking times based on your grill or stovetop heat.
  • Feel free to add additional toppings such as lettuce, tomato, or pickles to customize your burgers.
