This Best BBQ Hamburger Recipe delivers juicy, flavorful burgers perfect for grilling at your next cookout or picnic. Made with lean ground beef, a homemade hamburger seasoning, and BBQ sauce, these patties are topped with provolone cheese and served on fresh buns for an irresistible classic BBQ experience.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pounds lean ground beef
  • ½ cup white onion, finely diced
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • 3 Tbsp homemade hamburger seasoning
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup homemade BBQ sauce
  • 12 slices provolone cheese
  • 12 hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients such as ground beef, eggs, onion, breadcrumbs, seasonings, BBQ sauce, cheese, and buns.
  2. Combine Meat and Eggs: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the ground beef with the eggs to help bind the mixture.
  3. Add Flavorings: Incorporate the finely diced white onion, breadcrumbs, hamburger seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce into the meat mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Form Patties: Weigh out 5-ounce portions of the meat mixture using a kitchen scale. Shape each portion into a round patty by hand or press using a patty press for consistency.
  5. Brush with BBQ Sauce: Generously apply BBQ sauce to both sides of each patty, ensuring full flavor coverage.
  6. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to 425°F (218°C) to prepare for cooking the patties.
  7. Cook Patties: Place the BBQ-sauced patties on the hot grill and cook for 8-10 minutes total, flipping halfway through. Grill until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.
  8. Add Cheese: During the last flip, place a slice of provolone cheese on each patty so it melts perfectly.
  9. Assemble Burgers: Serve each cooked patty on a hamburger bun and add an additional generous layer of BBQ sauce for extra flavor. Optionally add desired toppings and condiments.

Notes

  • Ensure the grill is properly preheated to get a good sear and prevent sticking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for food safety.
  • Feel free to add extra toppings like lettuce, tomato, pickles, or onions according to preference.
  • Homemade hamburger seasoning and BBQ sauce greatly enhance the flavor compared to store-bought varieties.
  • Let the patties rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow juices to redistribute.
