Ingredients
1 kg (2 lbs) of ground beef
1 egg
2/3 cup of plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup of Jack Daniels barbecue sauce (or different sauce of your choice)
1 teaspoon of minced garlic
1 tablespoon of minced onion
1 teaspoon of chili powder
2 hamburger buns
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, breadcrumbs, minced garlic and onion, ground beef and barbecue sauce with your hands. Make sure that the resulting mixture can combine in a sizable ball; if it cannot, add more breadcrumbs or sauce until you can easily make a large ball out of the mixture.
- Take off approximately a 3/4 cup of the mixture, rolling it into a ball and then flattening it into a patty. Keep in mind that there are 4 to 5 patties for each pound.
- Begin heating your outdoor grill. Grill the patties on their sides for approximately 10 minutes. Flip the patties once the meat has been browned on their undersides. Use a brush or spoon to cover the cooked sides of your patties with barbecue sauce. Continue cooking until the other sides of the patties are also browned. Flip again, covering the other sides with barbecue sauce as well. Flip once more before taking the patties out of the grill.
- Serve on your favorite hamburger buns with whatever toppings you like. Onion rings add a nice texture and flavor to barbecue burgers.
