Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds of ground beef
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of onion powder
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 4 leaves of lettuce
• 4 slices of tomato
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• BBQ sauce
• 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce

Directions

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to incorporate the seasonings into the meat.
3. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up on the grill.
4. Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
5. During the last few minutes of grilling, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty and allow it to melt.
6. While the burgers are grilling, prepare the aioli by combining the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Mix well.
7. Once the burgers are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
8. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about a minute, until they are lightly toasted.
9. To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of barbecue sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a grilled patty, a slice of tomato, a leaf of lettuce, and a few slices of red onion. Spread the aioli on the top half of the bun and place it on top of the burger.
10. Serve the gourmet grilling burgers with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
