Classic American BBQ Cheeseburger

A juicy grilled beef patty topped with melted cheddar, smoky BBQ sauce, and fresh toppings, sandwiched in a soft bun. This classic American favorite is simple, satisfying, and perfect for any meal.

Steps

1. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Form the ground beef into a patty slightly larger than the bun and season with salt and pepper.
3. Grill the patty for about 4 minutes on one side.
4. Flip the patty and place the cheddar slice on top; cook an additional 3 minutes or until cheese melts and patty is cooked through.
5. Lightly butter the bun halves and toast them in a separate pan or on the grill until golden brown.
6. Spread BBQ sauce on the bottom bun.
7. Assemble the burger by placing the patty with cheese on the bun, then add tomato slices, lettuce leaves, and pickles.
8. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
