  • About This Recipe:

    When you've got a list of barbecue recipes, it's basically a crime not to include cheeseburgers. And we don't mean those wimpy little fast food burgers, oh no. We're talking patties so hefty, they've earned the right to be called "thicc" with two c's. We're talking burgers that require at least doubling up on disposable plates, but even then, they'll buckle under the weight. But one can't properly feast on girth alone, which is why we've also made our cheeseburgers with parsley, garlic, and onion mixed into the meat, properly packing it with flavor. As far as toppings go, the beauty of burgers is how customizable they are, so we'll leave out any specific recommendations and encourage you to build whatever your heart desires. And of course, the main thing that makes our cheeseburgers so special is the texture. It's got a nice little crunch on the outside, but is still plump and juicy on the inside. It seems like a tricky task to tackle, but did you know that you can use your trusty MEATER with ground meat? If you didn't already know, consider your life changed for the better! It goes without saying that burgers and fries go together like bread and butter, so that's got to be our first suggestion. If you're wanting more, you can pile your plate with any of your favorite barbecue sides. When it comes to drinks, there's nothing like cracking open a cold can of something fizzy at a barbecue. Bitter beers like pilsner or lager will cut through the fattiness of the burger, or you can keep it simple with your favorite soft drink.

    Cooking Method:

  • 1

    Pre-Heat Grill

    Light your burners, close the lid, and let your grill hit about 450°F (225°C). This can take up to 15m.

  • 2

    Mince Garlic

    Finely chop your garlic.

  • 3

    Chop Onion

    Chop up your onion.

    Onions are pretty common in beef dishes because they add a lot of flavor that complements the beef well. As much as we love onions, we didn't want that to be the only thing we could taste, so we opted for white onion since it's one of the mildest kinds. This also means you're less likely to cry in front of whoever you're cooking for.

  • 4

    Chop Parsley

    Cut off your parsley stems and finely chop the leaves.

    Parsley is one of the most versatile herbs out there, so it'll work well with most toppings that you might want to put on your burger.

  • 5

    Add Bread Crumbs

    Sprinkle in your bread crumbs.

    Bread crumbs help hold the ground beef together by soaking up the juices of the meat, which keeps them from just leaking out and leaving you with dry burgers. This also gives your patties a hint of a fluffy texture.
