- Beer is a natural pairing for a burger. Keep the southern theme going by pouring a Texas brew. We like the caramel sweetness and mild hoppy flavor of Shiner Bock ($8 per six-pack).
SPICY TEXAS BARBECUE SAUCE
This is great on anything grilled (just not seafood). It is spicy. Great with the Coffee Rubbed Cheeseburgers.

COFFEE RUBBED CHEESEBURGERS
I got this recipe from Bon Appetit. This is a great recipe and a nice change from the normal Cheeseburgers. The coffee really compliments the flavor of the meat.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ground beef for the burgers. An 80/20 blend of chuck and sirloin is a good option.
- Season the ground beef liberally with the coffee rub. The coffee rub will give the burgers a delicious smoky flavor.
- Form the ground beef into 1-inch thick patties. Make sure the patties are uniform in size so that they cook evenly.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat. If you cook the burgers over too high heat, they will brown on the outside but remain raw on the inside.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare burgers, cook them to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium burgers, cook them to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Baste the burgers with Texas barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of cooking. This will help to give the burgers a delicious glaze.
- Serve the burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for cheeseburgers include lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and cheese.
Conclusion:
Coffee-rubbed cheeseburgers with Texas barbecue sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. The coffee rub gives the burgers a unique and flavorful taste, and the Texas barbecue sauce adds a smoky and tangy flavor. These burgers are perfect for a cookout or a casual dinner.
