4. 03

   Grill burgers 4–5 minutes per side until nearly done.

5.  

   

6. 04

   Brush each patty with BBQ sauce, because that’s how my Uncle Terry does it, then immediately top with a slice of cheese so it melts right into the sauce.

7. 05

   Toss onions with olive oil and grill until golden and tender; toast the buns lightly over the coals.

8. 06

   Assemble the burgers with grilled onions, finish with steak sauce, and add any additional condiments as desired.
