  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Seasonings

  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare your veggies. Cut carrots into quarters, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.

  • Step 6: Prepare for cooking. Set up your campfire or grill and ensure consistent heat.
  • Step 7: Cook the burgers. Grill patties for 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
  • Step 8: Add the BBQ sauce. Brush BBQ sauce over the burgers in the last minutes of cooking.
  • Step 9: Serve and enjoy. Let burgers rest, then serve warm on buns with your favorite toppings.
