    Ingredients

    • ground beef
    • ketchup
    • mustard
    • pickle juice - dill pickle juice
    • bacon bits - can use cooked and crumbled bacon
    • cheddar cheese - can use a mixture of Colby Jack
    • dried onion
    • salt/pepper

    These ingredients are just what you would use for your favorite cheeseburger on the grill, but you can make this anytime, no warm weather needed!

    Pickle juice

    The pickle juice adds the flavor, without needed the pickles for the pickier eaters in your family. The pickle juice gets poured into the ground beef mixture while it is cooking so the flavors blend perfectly.

    Variations

    • Chopped onions can be cooked with the ground beef.
    • A smokey cheese can be used in place of the cheddar.
    • If you prefer bread and butter pickles, you can use that.
    • Liquid Smoke is excellent in this for a touch of smokey flavor.

    FAQ

    How do I store leftovers?

    Leftovers can be placed in an airtight container and kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    Can I use a powdered mustard?

    I don't recommend it. I feel prepared mustard adds a better flavor to the Cheeseburger BBQ sandwiches.

    What can I serve the BBQ on?

    Serve the BBQ on toasted bread, over rice or even over noodles!
