Description
Celebrate Hamburger Day with these delicious, spicy BBQ burgers that are quick and easy to prepare for any occasion.
Ingredients
- Ground Beef: Use 80/20 for the perfect balance of flavor and juiciness.
- BBQ Sauce: Choose your favorite brand for a smoky flavor or make your own for a personalized touch.
- Spices: Garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cayenne pepper for that extra heat.
- Salt and Pepper: Essential for seasoning the patties for maximum flavor.
- Burger Buns: Choose soft or toasted buns that can hold up to the juicy burgers.
- Toppings: Sliced onions, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and cheese are perfect accompaniments.
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s hot enough to sear the burger patties.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid over-mixing to keep patties tender.
- Form the mixture into burger patties, about 1-inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging while grilling.
- Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness (165°F for medium).
- In the last minute of grilling, top each patty with cheese if desired, allowing it to melt.
- Remove the burgers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Assemble the burgers on buns with your choice of toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and additional BBQ sauce.
Notes
- Choose Quality Meat: Using high-quality ground beef ensures flavorful and juicy burgers that everyone will love.
- Do Not Overwork the Meat: Mixing too much can make patties dense. Gently combine ingredients for a tender bite.
- Preheat Your Grill Early: Ensuring the grill is hot creates a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
