Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 tomato slices

Instructions:

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat

In a bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper

Mix until well combined

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties

Place the burger patties on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness

During the last minute of grilling, add a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and close the grill lid to melt the cheese

While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill until lightly browned

To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a tomato slice, a grilled burger patty with melted cheese, a strip of bacon, and your choice of pickles and ketchup

Top with the other half of the bun and serve hot
