What is better than a juicy cheeseburger on the 4th of July? A double cheeseburger on the 4th of July! This recipe uses Weber® Gourmet Burger Seasoning to enhance the flavor of your favorite summertime meal. It’s doubly delicious!
If you’re planning on serving these burgers on the 4th, we have the perfect side dish recommendation for you. This Corn and Avocado Salad uses Weber® Kick ‘n Chicken™ Seasoning to give it a nudge of flavor that’s leaning towards spicy, but is mild enough for all of your guests to enjoy.
We should also mention that while we’re sure you’re quite familiar with burgers and their endless topping options, trying to come up with good combos can get quite daunting. This recipe uses simple lettuce shreds, onions, and pickles (and cheese, of course), but you can feel free to change this up however you’d like. Here at The Real Kitchen, we try to be as helpful as possible, so we’ve compiled a list of exciting toppings for you to try! Please note – all of these combos taste wonderful when the burger patties are seasoned with Weber® Gourmet Burger Seasoning – we love its versatility!

Ingredients
- 2 lbs Ground beef
- 2 tbsp Weber® Gourmet Burger Seasoning
- 4 slices Cheese of your choice
- 4 Sesame seed buns

- Pickles, as desired
- Onion slices, as desired
Instructions
- Gently shape ground beef into 8 patties. Season burgers on both sides with Weber® Gourmet Burger Seasoning (you can use more than 1 tbsp if desired!)
- Grill over direct medium heat (with the lid closed as much as possible), until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for medium, 12–15 minutes, turning once. Top 4 of the patties with 1 slice of cheese just before removing from the grill. Place buns on grill and toast for 1–2 minutes.
- Place pickles and lettuce on the bottom bun, then add the cheese-covered patty, the plain patty, an onion slice, and the top of the bun. Feel free to add other toppings as desired!
