How to Make Barbecue In The Burgers

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef (or pork, chicken, turkey, or a mix), 1/2 cup your favorite BBQ sauce, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Using your hands, lightly mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough patties.
  3. Shape the mixture into 6-8 patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Sprinkle both sides generously with salt.
  4. Grill the patties over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for ground beef, or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork (adjust cooking time for other meats).
  5. Serve your BBQ-infused burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
