Wow. I have made this recipe for years and just realized that I don't follow it exactly. I mix all of the ground beef ingredients together and then I make them into big meatballs. I then scoop a little whole into the meatballs, fill it with grated cheddar cheese and cover it with the ground beef. This makes it so the cheese melts in the middle of the burger (instead of on top). Everyone loves them. However, I can't for the life of me figure out how I came up with the idea to put the cheese in the center of the burgers - instead of on top. You might want to try it, they're great!

4 Forks only if you add blue cheese to the mix. I saw a chef on master chef do it, and it took the burger to a whole new level.

这些汉堡包是可怕的,所以容易和inexpensive to pull together. I just made these for the 4th of July, and they were killer! The burger patties are unbelievably good with the simple addition of some BBQ sauce to the mixture, you'll be surprised. My Dad, who is seriously into grilling, grabbed a leftover burger from the fridge the next day and immediately came to me asking what I'd done to make them so delicious! The onions are also a winner. I'll absolutely be making these burgers again.

Good quick burger recipe. I did modify it by adding one chopped red onion and one egg to the mix as I only had 93% lean ground sirloin on hand and didn't feel like making the onions separately. You can definitely taste the bbq sauce. I think adding a crispy bacon slice would also be great.

I hate to add to the chorus, but truly the best burger any of us has ever had... I inserted a layer of vermont aged white cheddar cheese in addition to the cheese on top - what a wonderful recipe!

I am a vegetarian, but when hosting a cookout for friends, I chose to make these burgers! They were a hit! One of my friends said it was the best burger he ever had! I agree to put in your favorite BBQ sauce- we used Sweet Baby Ray's, my fiance's favorite!

Wow. I'm not a big red meat eater, but I decided to make these for my family and couldn't help myself. These were SOOOO good. My husband said it was one of the best burgers he's ever had. The barbequed onions are a must. I bought the ground chuck as someone else suggested and the burger still fell apart, but who cares!

Yum! Yum! Same for the onions. Did them on the George Grill. Wonderful. I suggest using YOUR favorite bbq sauce. My preference is a smokey sweet one--like Sugar Rays.

I like to use Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce for this recipe. Adding a little cheese inside will also make it extra delicious. Won us over!

Maybe I didn't use enough BBQ sauce but the burger did not stay together well during grilling and the buger turned out a bit dry. I'll probably choose a burger recipe with breadcrumbs & eggs in the ingredients next time

This was great!! Very moist. I also added a bit of cheddar cheese inside the burger before cooking and got rave reviews.

Great, flavorful, and easy. We also make a little extra and freeze some uncooked burgers for a quick weekday dinner.
