4th fo July and my best hamburger

Happy 4th of July. We pretty much always do a cookout on the 4th. It is one of those American traditions that I love to do. We cooked hamburgers last night for dinner. I love hamburgers, more specifically, cheese burgers. I like them in pretty much any situation with all kinds of different toppings. Cheese, ham, pickles, tomato, onion, avocado, bacon, pineapple, mayo, mustard, Ketchup, lettuce, mushrooms, whatever. Your mouth is watering isn't it?

Here is a great hamburger recipe.

1.5 lbs of Hamburger. (I use an organic meat from a wygu cow, it has a pretty high fat content)
Cheddar Cheese (about five thick slices)
Lettuce (whole leaf)
Tomato (sliced)
Pickles (sliced)
Avocado (mashed)
Spreads (Mayo, Mustard)
One packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix
Worcestershire Sauce
BBQ Sauce
Hamburger buns

In a bowl, put hamburger, onion soup mix, Tbsp of Worcestershire sauce and 2 Tbsp of BBQ sauce. Mix well and mold into 5 med sized or 4 large sized hamburgers. They should be a little bigger than your palm.
Put them on the BBQ and cook. A high fat content meat will cause a lot of flame up, so be careful when turning them. Place the cheese on just before they are done. Cook till done (med rare is my preference).
Put your buns on the grill to toast them, it won't take long.
How to layer your burger:
Bun, mayo, burger (w/ cheese), avocado, tomato, lettuce, pickle, mustard (I like to use a cipotle mustard), bun.
Put it on your plate and take it to the table, sit and enjoy!
