Description

This Weber BBQ burger recipe delivers juicy, smoky beef patties grilled to perfection. Learn ideal cook times, temperatures, and how to build the ultimate backyard burger with bold toppings and summer-ready sides.


Ingredients

Scale
  • lbs ground chuck (80/20 blend)

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 4 burger buns

  • 4 slices of cheddar, gouda, or American cheese

  • Lettuce, tomato, pickles (optional toppings)

  • Chipotle mayo, mustard, or burger sauce of choice


Instructions

  1. Preheat your Weber BBQ grill to 450–500°F with the lid closed. Clean and oil the grates.

  2. Divide ground beef into 4 equal 6 oz patties. Gently shape and press a small indent in the center of each.

  3. Season both sides of the patties with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire if using.

  4. Place patties on direct heat. Close the lid and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, until internal temp reaches 160°F.

  5. Add cheese slices after the final flip, close the lid, and melt for 1 minute.

  6. Move burgers to indirect heat and toast buns for 30–60 seconds.

  7. Assemble burgers with toppings and sauces. Serve immediately with BBQ sides.


Notes

  • For extra smoky flavor, add hickory or applewood chunks to the coals.

  • Use 80/20 beef for the juiciest results.

 

  • Only open the lid when flipping or adding cheese—keep it closed to trap heat and flavor.
