Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef, dry onion soup mix, and Worcestershire sauce. Be careful not to overmix, as it can make the burgers tough.
2
Divide the mixture into eight equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4-inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing while cooking.
3
Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness, ideally no longer pink in the center and a minimum internal temperature of 160°F.
4
During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the burgers generously with barbecue sauce and place a slice of American cheese on each patty, closing the grill lid to melt the cheese.
5
To assemble, layer the bottom half of each bun with fresh lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Add the hot cheeseburger patty on top.
6
Optional: For a bacon cheeseburger, place a slice of crispy bacon on top of the cheese before finishing with the top half of the bun.
