  2. Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill until golden.
Assembly
  1. Start with the bottom bun, add the lettuce and slice of tomato (if desired), followed by the cheesy patty.
  2. Drizzle a generous amount of BBQ sauce and top it off with crispy onion rings. Finish with the top bun.
Serving

Notes

To prevent tough texture, do not overwork the ground beef when forming the patties. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly. Feel free to customize toppings with avocado or jalapeños for added flavor.
