Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Prep all ingredients per the instructions above.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, Carolina-style tangy BBQ sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined. Form into patties.
Grill the burgers on both sides to your preferred doneness.
During the final minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese onto the patty and cover to allow the cheese to melt.
Toast the burger buns lightly if desired.
Layer the bun with arugula, tomato, burger, and pickle slices. Drizzle with more bbq sauce.
Add lemon slices to sparkling water and serve over ice if desired.
Serve the burgers with carrots, red pepper hummus and lemon sparkling water.
