1
lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
5
medium green onions, sliced (1/3 cup)
1/2
teaspoon salt
1/4
teaspoon pepper
1/4
cup barbecue sauce
4
slices pepper Jack cheese
4
hamburger buns, split
4

Preparation
Heat gas or charcoal grill. In large bowl, mix beef, green onions, salt and pepper. Shape mixture into 4 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Place patties on grill over medium-high heat. Cover grill; cook 8 to 12 minutes, turning once, until meat thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 160°F. Top each burger with 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce and 1 slice cheese. Cover grill; cook about 30 seconds longer or until cheese begins to melt.
Remove burgers from grill; cover to keep warm. Place buns, cut sides down, on grill. Cover grill; cook about 1 minute or until golden brown.
On bun bottoms, layer lettuce and tomato. Top with burgers and French-fried onions. Cover with bun tops.
