Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 Richwood Meat burger patties
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 potato buns
  • 1/3 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 large tomato sliced
  • 4 leaves lettuce
  • 1/4 red onion thinly sliced

Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat a grill or skillet/griddle over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the burger patties lightly with salt and black pepper.
  3. Cook the patties until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness, turning once or as needed. Cook time may vary depending on patty thickness, cooking method, and whether cooking from frozen.
  4. During the last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking, brush the patties lightly with barbecue sauce and top each with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese.
  5. Avoid pressing down on the patties while they cook, as this can squeeze out flavorful juices.
  6. Lightly toast the potato buns until warm and lightly crisp. Toasting helps the buns hold up better and adds texture.
  7. Let the patties rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
  8. Spread additional barbecue sauce on the toasted buns if desired.
  9. Assemble the burgers with the patty on the bottom bun, then top with tomato, lettuce, and red onion. Add the top bun and serve right away.
