How to Make Barbecued Burgers

1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
2. Bring the BBQ sauce mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
3. Remove from heat and set aside 1 cup of the BBQ sauce in a separate bowl.
4. In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef with the remaining BBQ sauce. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough burgers.
5. Divide the beef mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4 inch thick.
6. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Once hot, place the patties on the grill.
7. Grill the burgers, covered, for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
8. During the last 5 minutes of grilling, baste the burgers generously with 1/2 cup of the reserved BBQ sauce.
9. Serve the burgers immediately on toasted buns with your favorite toppings and the remaining BBQ sauce.
