Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds (80%-85%) ground beef
- 2 ounces (1/2 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce, plus more for brushing on the burgers
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 hamburger buns (toasted)
- Dill pickle slices, lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, onion slices, optional
Instructions
- Make and shape the burgers. Combine the ground beef, mozzarella cheese, bread crumbs, barbecue sauce, and pepper. Shape into 4 burgers (or 8 smaller slider-size burgers) and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the burgers. Heat a grill pan or iron skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop or prepare an outdoor gas or charcoal grill for direct medium-high heat. Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the burgers are cooked through and reach a minimum internal temperature of 160°F (well done—USDA minimum safe temperature). If you prefer a medium doneness, cook the burgers to an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Assemble the burgers. Arrange the burgers in buns. Brush with extra BBQ sauce or top with your favorite burger condiment. Finish with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and pickles as desired.
