Servings: 4 Difficulty: Medium
INGREDIENTS
- 1.75 lbs (800g) Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio recommended for juiciness)
- 1/3 cup (100ml) Mr. Wings® BBQ Sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 large (55g) Egg, beaten
- 4 Hamburger buns (brioche or sesame)
- 7 oz (200g) Sharp yellow cheddar cheese (slices or freshly sliced)
- 7 oz (200g) Smoked bacon, thick-cut
- 7 oz (200g) Green leaf / Italian lettuce
- 1 large (200g) White onion, medium-sliced
- 1/2 cup packed (100g) Brown sugar / Muscovado sugar
- 2 tsp (10ml) Vegetable oil or olive oil
- Mayonnaise, to taste (optional)
- Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and onion powder, to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Caramelize the Onions
- Slice the Onions: Cut the white onion into medium-thick slices.
- Sauté: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and brown sugar. Stir well to combine, then reduce heat to low.
- Slow Cook: Cook on low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until the onions become deeply golden, tender, and caramelized. Set aside.
Prepare & Cook the Burgers
- Season the Meat: In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt, black pepper, onion powder to taste, the beaten egg, and Mr. Wings® BBQ Sauce until just combined. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
- Crisp the Bacon: In a dry skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon slices until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease; set aside.
- Form Patties: Divide the chilled beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties using your hands or a burger press.
- Sear: Lightly oil a griddle or skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Sear the patties for about 4 minutes per side (or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F / 71°C). Place cheddar cheese slices on top of the patties during the last minute of cooking so it melts smoothly.
Assemble the Burgers
- Prepare Buns: Optionally toast the hamburger buns and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the top and bottom bun halves.
- Layer: Place a fresh lettuce leaf on the bottom bun.
- Stack: Top with the juicy cheeseburger patty, followed by crispy bacon slices.
- Finish: Generously top with caramelized onions and a drizzle of Mr. Wings® BBQ Sauce. Close with the top bun and serve immediately.
SERVING SUGGESTION
Serve piping hot on a dinner plate alongside crispy French fries, blistered jalapeños (chiles toreados), or a classic creamy coleslaw

To ensure our beef is perfectly cooked, we can use a thermometer and verify that the protein reaches a temperature of 63°C.
Experts usually recommend that the hamburger weighs between 125 and 250 grams, no more than this amount, so that its cooking is even.
