How to Make BBQ Burger at Home:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 burger buns
• 4 slices of cheese
• Lettuce leaves
• Sliced tomatoes
• Sliced onions
• Pickles (optional)
• BBQ sauce (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop griddle to medium-high heat.
2. Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Season each patty with salt and pepper.
3. Place the burger patties on the grill or griddle and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.
4. In the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.
5. Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a burger patty with melted cheese.
7. Top the patties with sliced tomatoes, onions, pickles (if using), and a generous drizzle of BBQ sauce.
8. Place the top half of the bun on each burger and serve immediately.

Homemade BBQ Sauce:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan, combine all the ingredients for the BBQ sauce over medium heat.
2. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
3. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
4. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
5. Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before using it on your BBQ burgers or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for future use.
