Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium-high.

Pulse beef in two batches in a food processor until coarsely ground;
mix in salt and pepper. Divide beef into four 5–6-oz. portions. Use a fork to shape beef into 4-inch-diameter patties; coat both sides with nonstick spray.

Grill patties, covered, 3 minutes. Flip patties and grill until an instant read thermometer inserted into centers registers 155°, 3–5 minutes more. Top patties with Cheddar and grill until it melts, 1–2 minutes; transfer to a plate, tent with foil, and let rest 3–4 minutes.

Grill onions, covered, until lightly charred, 3 minutes per side. Grill
buns, uncovered, until toasted, about 1 minute.

Serve burgers on buns with bacon, barbecue sauce, and onions.
