In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Divide the meat into four equal portions, then shape them into patties about 2 cm thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the patties with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, until they develop a nice golden-brown crust and remain juicy inside.
During the last minute of cooking, brush the tops of the patties with BBQ sauce, then top each with a slice of cheddar cheese to melt.
Halve the hamburger buns and lightly toast them on the grill or in a dry skillet to make the insides crispier.
Assemble the burgers: place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, top with the BBQ cheese-covered patty, then add a slice of tomato and red onion. Finally, cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with extra BBQ sauce and french fries or a fresh salad.
