For burgers, combine the next 6 ingredients, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into eight patties. Grill, covered, over medium direct heat until cooked to your liking, 5-7 minutes on each side. Top with cheese; grill, covered, until the cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes longer. Place burgers on bun bottoms. Keep warm.
