I can't take all the credit for these winning burgers. My husband's uncle passed down the special barbecue sauce recipe. We love it on everything...it was only natural to try it on, and in, burgers. Add cheese and bacon to take them over the top. -Rhoda Troyer, Glenford, Ohio

When I got married, I asked my Aunt Jean for this recipe. It was her creation and she always hamburgers in this way for family picnics in the summer and the occasional church dish dinner. I like them because they have a great taste and are very moist.

Time 25m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 large carrot, grated
1/2 small head green cabbage, cored and finely shredded (about 2 cups)
1/2 small white onion, grated
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Canola oil, for brushing
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck (80 percent lean)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 brioche buns, split
8 slices white American cheese
1/2 cup store-bought BBQ sauce, such as Spicy Bone-Suckin' Sauce, or homemade
Sliced pickled jalapenos, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high. Brush the grill grates with oil.
  • For the coleslaw: Combine the carrot, cabbage, onion, vinegar, mayonnaise, oil and sugar in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the slaw sit at least 15 minutes before serving.
  • For the spice rub: Whisk together the ancho chile powder, paprika, coriander, cumin, mustard powder, oregano, cayenne and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl.

BBQ HAMBURGERS



BBQ Hamburgers image

My mom did a great job of feeding a family of 6 on a budget. She made the ground beef go farther by making it a bit more like meatloaf, then my dad would slather on the BBQ sauce on the grill. The result are tasty, moist hamburgers.

Provided by karen

Categories     Meat

Time 30m

Yield 12 hamburgers, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lbs ground beef (or ground chuck or ground round)
3 eggs
3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup barbecue sauce or 1/2 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon minced onion (dried)
barbecue sauce
hamburger bun

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, using your hands, combine the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs and barbecue sauce/ketchup. Add additional sauce or breadcrumbs as needed so that the meat has a meatloaf texture - not dry or too wet, and holds together in a large ball easily.
  • Add garlic powder and minced onion and mix well until distributed throughout meat.
  • Pinch off about 3/4 cup of meat and roll into ball, then flatten with your hands. The hamburgers will shrink when cooked, so adjust the size based on your tastes. Allow for 4-5 patties per pound.
  • Heat outdoor grill. Grill patties on one side for about 10 minutes, then flip over when the meat is browned on the underside and some grill marks are visible.
  • Using a spoon or brush, cover the cooked side with barbecue sauce. Cook until the underside is browned with grill marks and flip again. Cover the top with barbecue sauce again. Flip one more time and then remove from grill.
  • Serve on hamburger bun with your favorite toppings (or plain).
  • NOTE: Cooking time will vary depending on how hot the grill is and how well done you like the burgers. We find it usually takes about 20 minutes total on the grill.
  • NOTE: If you want to make cheeseburger, place a piece of cheese on each burger just before removing from the grill. Cook until the cheese is melted and remove.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful ground beef blend: Combine different cuts of beef, such as chuck, sirloin, and brisket, to create a juicy and flavorful hamburger patty.
  • Season the meat properly: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and other spices to enhance the flavor of the beef.
  • Don't overmix the meat: Overmixing can make the burgers tough. Mix the meat just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Form the patties gently: Handle the meat gently when forming the patties to avoid compacting them.
  • Make a thumbprint in the center of each patty: This will help prevent the burgers from puffing up in the middle when cooked.
  • Use a hot grill: A hot grill will help sear the burgers and prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the burgers to your desired doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the burgers to ensure they are cooked to your liking.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving: Allow the burgers to rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

By following these tips, you can create delicious and juicy barbecue hamburgers that will be a hit at your next cookout. Experiment with different toppings and sides to create your own unique burger recipes. With a little practice, you'll be able to grill the perfect burger every time.
