Preheat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium high heat.
Grill the beef patties to your desired doneness, approximately 3 minutes per side for medium. Add cheese slices during the last minute of cooking to melt.
In a small bowl, mix together coleslaw mix and BBQ sauce. Set aside.
Brush the insides of the bao buns with softened butter and place them on the skillet or griddle. Grill for 1 2 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
To assemble, place a beef patty with melted cheese in each bao bun, followed by a generous spoonful of the coleslaw mix, and finally a drizzle of smoky BBQ sauce.

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the coleslaw mix for an extra kick!

Adjust cooking times to desired doneness for beef patties.

For a vegan option, use plant-based beef patties and a dairy-free cheese alternative. For gluten-free, use gluten-free bao buns.

Cook the patties on an outdoor grill for an authentic tailgate experience.

Bake the bao buns in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown and slightly crispy.

Store beef patties and cooked bao buns separately in the refrigerator. Assemble just before serving.

Beef patties can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; cooked bao buns can be stored for up to 2 days.

Arrange Grilled Cheeseburger Bao Buns on a wooden board, garnished with fresh herbs and a dollop of smoky BBQ sauce.
