- 2 lbs ground beef chuck or sirloin
- ½ cup bottled barbecue sauce
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 container french-fried onion
- 6 each hamburger buns
- 1 container packaged cole slaw mix
- 1 whole Red bell pepper finely chopped
- COLESLAW DRESSING:

Instructions
- Prepare Coleslaw. Whisk together mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, celery seed, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add coleslaw mix and red bell pepper to dressing and combine well. Allow to chill until ready to use, best overnight.
- Combine ground beef, BBQ sauce, salt, and pepper gently in a large bowl. Make sure all spices are distributed evenly without over working the meat.
- Score the meat with your hands to make 6 portions. Out of each portion, take half and make a small patty in your hand. Put a little less than a tablespoon of shredded cheddar in the center. Take the other half of the ground beef portion and put on top. Work in your hands to make a patty, keeping the cheese sealed in the middle.
- Continue to make the remaining patties. Make an indention in the middle of each finished patty to ensure it does not puff up while cooking.
- Grill burgers over medium high heat for 5-6 minutes on each side until desired doneness.
- Top cooked burgers with coleslaw and french fried onions.
