How to Make Apple Butter Barbecue Burgers
- In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, 2 tablespoons steak sauce, 1 teaspoon ground sage, and 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs.
- Gently form the mixture into four equal-sized patties (about 3/4 inch thick).
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup tomato sauce, 1/2 cup apple butter, and 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat grill or broiler to medium-high heat. Grill or broil burgers for 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Brush generously with the apple butter barbecue sauce during grilling and again after flipping.
- Heat any remaining sauce gently until bubbly. Serve the juicy burgers on toasted Kaiser rolls with your favorite toppings.
