Add the romano cheese, salt, pepper and just enough barbecue sauce to moisten the mix a bit. If mix is too wet and doesn't hold together add more grated cheese or breadcrumbs.

Flip burger, brush top with sauce and grill 1 minute, top with cheddar. Grill till cheddar melts and burger is heated through, 1-3 minutes.
