INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
• 4 tablespoons barbecue sauce, divided
• 4 slices white Cheddar, pepper Jack, smoked Gouda or provolone cheese
• 4 whole wheat hamburger buns or pretzel rolls, split, toasted

COOKING:

1. 1. Combine Ground Beef, chopped onion and 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce in medium bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 1/2-inch thick patties.

About 1 minute before burgers are done, brush with remaining 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce and top with cheese.
