Tailgate Game Day BBQ Burger

Allergens

Dairy, Wheat

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef (80% lean)
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (homemade or store
• bought)
• 6 hamburger buns
• 1 large white onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 6 slices cheddar cheese
• 1 cup coleslaw (store
• bought or homemade)
• 6 pickle slices
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with 1/4 cup BBQ sauce and mix until well incorporated. Divide into six equal portions and shape them into patties.
2. Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 5 7 minutes or until they become soft and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Place the patties onto the heated skillet or griddle and cook for 4 5 minutes per side or until desired doneness is reached. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese to melt.
4. While the patties are cooking, spread softened butter on the insides of the hamburger buns and place them cut side down on a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat for 1 2 minutes or until lightly toasted.
5. To assemble, place each patty onto its corresponding bun, then top with caramelized onions, coleslaw, pickle slices, and a generous dollop of BBQ sauce.
