- Optional: Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each burger during the last two minutes of cooking.
- Let burgers rest 2-3 minutes off the heat before serving.
- While the burgers are resting, lightly toast the onion rolls.
Serve:
- Top the bottom of each toasted bun with a lettuce leaf.
- Next, add 1-2 slices each of tomato, onion and pickles on top of the lettuce.
- Top the vegetables with the burger patty.
- Drizzle each patty with 1-2 tablespoons of the BBQ sauce.
- Finish it with the top of the bun.
