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.

BARBECUE CHEESEBURGERS

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the barbecue sauce:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
3/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup apricot preserves
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
For the burgers:
2 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 red onion, sliced into rings
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 slices monterey jack or pepper jack cheese
6 sesame seed hamburger buns, split
2 avocados, sliced

Steps:

  • Make the barbecue sauce: Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the chili powder and cook, stirring, until toasted, about 1 minute. Stir in the ketchup, preserves, mustard, vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth; let cool to room temperature.
  • Make the burgers: Combine the ground beef and 3 tablespoons of the prepared barbecue sauce in a bowl; mix with your hands until just combined. Form the meat into six 1/2-inch-thick patties; season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat a grill to medium. Toss the onion with 1 tablespoon of the barbecue sauce and the vegetable oil. Grill (use a grill basket if you have one), turning occasionally, until lightly charred, about 8 minutes.
  • Transfer 1/2 cup of the remaining barbecue sauce to a separate bowl for brushing. Increase the grill temperature to medium high and grill the patties, brushing with the barbecue sauce and flipping occasionally, about 8 minutes for medium rare; top with the cheese during the last minute and cover to melt. Toast the buns on the grill. Serve the burgers on the buns; top with the grilled onions, avocado slices and more barbecue sauce.

THE BEST GRILLED BURGERS



The Best Grilled Burgers image

When summer nights call for a grilled burger, this one is our go-to. We season only the outside of each patty right before grilling to help a build a nice crust. Our trick for forming the patties is a real time saver, especially if you are cooking for a crowd. You can also form them the day before; place in an airtight container with parchment paper in between to help with party-day prep.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds ground chuck (80/20)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for the grates
Four 1-ounce slices Cheddar (optional)
1 large red onion, cut into four 1-inch thick rounds
4 leaves green leaf lettuce
4 slices beefsteak tomato
4 seeded hamburger buns
Mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup, for serving
8 dill pickle chips
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.

Steps:

  • Form the ground beef into four 8-ounce patties. A quick and easy way to do this is to divide the meat into 4 piles. Place a pile on the top of a deli container lid. Take a second deli container lid and place the top of it against the meat. Press down evenly and firmly and watch as a perfect patty forms. Repeat with the remaining meat. Make an indentation in the middle of each patty with your thumb to keep the burger from shrinking as it cooks.
  • Sprinkle each patty on both sides with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Lightly brush the grill grates with oil. Grill the patties, indentation-side up, until marked on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm, about 4 more minutes for medium-rare. For cheeseburgers, top with 1 slice cheese during the last minute of cooking if desired; cover the grill to melt. Remove to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • While the burgers cook, place the onion slices on the grill (try to keep them together in a disk). Cook until they are golden on one side, about 4 minutes, then flip with a metal spatula and sprinkle generously with salt. Cook on the other side until the onions are lightly charred and softened through, about 4 minutes, and transfer to a plate.
  • Right before serving, toast the buns cut-side down on the grill. Top the bottom bun with a burger patty and layer with grilled onion, lettuce and a slice of tomato. Spread the inside of the top of each bun with some mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup. Arrange the pickle chips on top. Flip over to top the burgers and secure with a toothpick if desired.

GRILLED BURGERS

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 grilled burgers

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Vegetable oil, for the grill
8 slices American or cheddar cheese (optional)
4 soft hamburger buns

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Divide the beef into four 6-ounce portions. Gather each into a ball, then gently flatten into a 4 1/2-inch-wide patty about 3/4 inch thick (be careful not to overwork the meat). Press your thumb into the center of each patty to make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation (this prevents the patties from bulging as they cook). Season the patties with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the patties indentation-side up until they are marked and release easily from the grill, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until slightly firm, 3 more minutes for medium doneness. For cheeseburgers, top each patty with 2 slices cheese during the last minute of cooking and cover to melt.
  • Transfer the burgers to a plate and let rest 5 minutes so the juices redistribute. Toast the buns on the grill, 30 seconds. Serve the burgers on the buns.

THIN BUT JUICY CHARGRILLED BURGERS



Thin but Juicy Chargrilled Burgers image

The key to cooking a thin, modestly sized burger on the grill is to use the highest heat possible, and to cook the meat most of the way through on one side before flipping it and briefly cooking the second side. This technique allows you to get a nice dark crust on that first side without the risk of overcooking. To form thin patties that hold together on the grill, massage the ground beef briefly - which is a cardinal sin with many other styles of burgers, but a necessity here for cohesion. This allows you to flatten the patty out extra-thin and wide to account for shrinking as the meat cooks.

Provided by J. Kenji López-Alt

Categories     dinner, lunch, burgers, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 burgers (with 3-to-4-ounce patties)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 to 1 pound ground beef (at least 15 percent fat), or vegan ground beef alternative
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 soft burger buns, toasted in butter
Toppings (such as shredded iceberg, sliced onion, tomato and pickles) and condiments (mayonnaise, ketchup or mustard), as desired
4 slices American cheese or other sliced cheese of your choice (optional)

Steps:

  • Divide the beef: Line a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the ground beef into 4 even balls. Working with one ball at a time, massage the meat gently in your hands until it is cohesive and tacky, about 15 seconds. Next, using clean hands, roll each into a smooth ball about the size of a golf ball. Place the balls on the baking sheet, one ball in the center of each quadrant.
  • Form the patties: Lay a second sheet of parchment on top, then place a second rimmed baking sheet on top of the first. Press down very firmly on the baking sheet, pressing directly over each patty in turn, to spread each ball into a thin patty that is wide enough that it will extend at least a full inch around your burger buns on all sides. (If using a vegan beef alternative, form a patty that is just large enough to extend 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch beyond the edges of the buns, as vegan beef alternatives do not shrink as much during cooking.) Refrigerate the patties until ready to cook.
  • Heat the grill: If cooking with charcoal (the preferred method, as charcoal gets hotter than gas), ignite a full chimney of coals. When the coals are mostly covered with gray ash, spread them out evenly under one side of the grill and allow the grill to heat with the lid off for 5 minutes. If cooking with gas, set the hottest burners to high heat, cover and let the grill heat for at least 15 minutes.
  • Season the burgers: When ready to cook, gently peel the top sheet of parchment off the burgers and season them generously with salt and pepper. Replace the top parchment, flip the parchment sheets with the burgers in between them over entirely, then peel off the other piece of parchment, which will now be on top. Season burgers generously with salt and pepper on the second side.
  • These burgers will cook very quickly, so prepare your buns with toppings and condiments as desired. (Placing any vegetables on the bottom bun makes the burger more stable and allows them to absorb juices that may drip from the patties.)
  • Cook the patties: Using your hands or a spatula, carefully lay the patties on the grill over the hottest part of the flame. If using charcoal, leave the lid open. If using gas, keep the lid closed as much as possible. Let cook, undisturbed, until the patties are well charred and juices start to pool on their top surfaces, about 1 minute.
  • Carefully flip the patties. (There will most likely be flare-ups; this is OK.) Add a slice of cheese, if using, to each, and continue to cook until the meat is just barely cooked through, about 15 seconds.
  • Transfer the patties to the buns, add any extra toppings or or condiments as desired, close, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a blend of ground chuck and ground sirloin.
  • Season the burgers generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Don't overwork the meat when mixing the ingredients. Overworking the meat will make the burgers tough.
  • Form the burgers into patties that are about 3/4-inch thick.
  • To prevent the burgers from sticking to the grill, brush the grates with oil before cooking.
  • Cook the burgers over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the burgers more flavorful.
  • Serve the burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
