Dad's Cola Burgers image

Before you hand out the drinks, save a little soda to make these burgers. Cola helps soften the texture and kick up the flavor. Used in the meat mixture and brushed on during cooking, it takes this football favorite to another level. -Emily Nelson, Green Bay, Wisconsin

I'm not a big fan of cola, but I actually really liked these burgers. The cola flavor is subtle and it doesn't overpower the beef.
