In a ceramic bowl, combine bulgur and boiling water. Cover and let sit for 10-15 minutes, then drain any extra water.
Combine ground beef and bulgur, mixing well.
Add cheese, sauce and salt, mix well
Form mixture into four 3⁄4 inch–thick patties that are the same diameter as the buns you use.
Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour a little olive oil on a folded piece of paper towel and use it to lightly grease the bottom of the hot skillet. Add patties, and cook on one side until seared and well-browned.
Flip the patties over and cook until well-browned on the opposite side.
Once all the patties are cooked, place the cut sides of your buns in the skillet and toast until golden brown and toasted on the bottoms.
Place cooked patty on buns, top the with any additional items of your choice and top bun. Serve immediately.
