How to Make Barbecue In The Burgers

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.
Using your hands, lightly mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough patties.
Shape the mixture into 6-8 patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Sprinkle both sides generously with salt.
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).
Serve your BBQ-infused burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
