Best Burger Recipe Ever with Secret Sauce - DIY, recipe Seriously, this is the best burger recipe ever–it’s a Ben favorite. I am kinda a stickler when it comes to homemade burgers. I can’t stand the dryness of pre-constructed or frozen patties, or when the patty turns into a giant dome that I can hardly bite into–and my burger muuust have cheese. So last year I set about creating the perfect burger, and you know what? I don’t even make it on the grill. Burger Ingredients: 2 lbs ground beef 85/15 sesame seed buns 1/2 cup of grated Monterrey jack cheese 1/4 cup BBQ sauce season salt to taste cracked black pepper onion powder We usually like to buy extra lean ground beef around these parts, but when it comes to a juicy burger, you’ve gotta make an exception. Combine the ground beef, grated cheese, bbq sauce, and seasonings. I cook the patties on this really cool skillet that has grill lines. Reduce heat to medium and allow this side of the patty to cook for about 4-6 minutes, but make sure it doesn’t burn. click here for more yummy recipes Burger
