Wipe off the griddle.Step 3Season the beef patties with salt and cook on the griddle over moderately high heat until medium-rare, about 2 minutes per side. Top each burger with 1/4 cup of smoked Gouda and cook until the cheese melts, 1 minute.Step 4Set the burgers on the unbuttered sides of 4 toasts. Top with the bacon, onion, and Sweet Barbecue Sauce.
