Barbecue Burger Deluxe
Modified from 365: No Repeats
1 1/2 lbs hamburger [she used ground sirloin, I used hamburger from the freezer...I also only had about a 1 lb]
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small onion, half finely chopped and half thinly sliced {to dice I got out the mincer as it is going in the burger)
1/2 tsp liquid smoke
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp hot sauce [I did NOT use this much...I just put a few drops in]
3 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp grill seasoning
Heat grill. Place burger in bowl with garlic and onion and combine. Mix the rest separately in a bowl, then add in and combine it all. Form 4 patties (I did three since I only started with 1 lb). Cook to desired doneness [we definitely had crumbling issues...we aren't used to burgers like this...my fault in making patties, Ray's in cooking...we are both a WIP!]. Can top with cheddar cheese if you like (we didn't).
Serve on rolls with sliced onions. RR also recommends lettuce, tomatoes and steak sauce. I used ketchup, Ray mustard and we did use the onions and were happy.
Serves 4. [so I'd only serve 3].
