Ingredients

  • 4 Dempster’s® Signature Classic Burger Buns
  • 1 lb (500 g) lean ground beef
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) hot sauce
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper
  • 4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) barbecue sauce
  • 1 head Boston bib lettuce, separated
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1 red onion, cut into rings

Directions

  1. Mix together ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, hot sauce, salt and pepper.
  2. Divide into 4 portions; shape each portion into a 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick patty.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat; grease grates well.
  4. Grill burgers for 5 to 7 minutes per side or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre of the burger reads 160°F (71°C).
  5. Top each burger with a cheese slice; cook for about 1 minute or until the cheese starts to melt.
