Directions

Step 1 Of 9
1
Preheat your grill to 300°F with direct and indirect <a href="https://www.charbroil.com/learn/zonal-cooking-tips-tricks/">heat zones</a> .
2
Divide the ground chuck into 6 equal portions. Form into patties, either by hand or using a <a href="https://www.charbroil.com/cast-aluminum-burger-press">burger press</a> .
3
Wrap 2 bacon strips around each beef patty. Secure with toothpicks. Season burgers with salt and pepper.
4
Place the bacon-wrapped beef patties on your grill over indirect heat. Close the lid and cook until desired doneness, 20 to 25 minutes.
5
Whisk mayonnaise, ketchup, BBQ sauce, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, pepper and hot sauce together in a medium-size bowl. Set aside in the refrigerator.
6
Using a <a href="https://www.charbroil.com/basting-brush">basting brush</a> , brush burgers with BBQ sauce. Flip and brush the other side. Move burgers to the direct heat side of the grill to caramelize the sauce, 2 to 3 minutes.
7
Top the burgers with sharp cheddar and red onions. Close the lid for 30 to 60 seconds. Remove burgers from grill.
8
Grill burger buns over direct heat for 15 seconds.
9
Assemble your burgers with grilled buns. Place a leaf of lettuce, some burger sauce and a burger patty on the bottom bun. Top with sliced tomatoes and serve with pickles on the side.
