The Best Garlic Burgers EVER image

Provided by Heidi

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 pounds 85% lean chuck beef
8 teaspoons garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 slices mild cheddar cheese
4 slices Monterey jack cheese
1 loaf French bread
2 cups iceberg lettuce (, shredded)
2 slices yellow onion
1 large tomato (, sliced)
Hamburger chip pickles
Ketchup and mustard

Steps:

Prepare grill with Cowboy® Hardwood Lump Charcoal and light.
Divide the hamburger meat into 4 equal portions. Lightly form the meat into balls. Use the lid of a small saucepan (one that is slightly concave works best) and smash each ball into a patty.
Season each side of the patties with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Once grill is hot and coals have ashed over, spread the charcoal in the bottom of the grill and place the burgers on the grill grate. Cook the burgers undisturbed until browning at the edges and flip once. Add one slice of cheddar cheese and one slice of Monterey jack cheese to each burger. Top with the grill lid to melt the cheese.
Cut the french bread into 5-inch lengths and then slice in half. Press the bread down with your hand to flatten slightly.
Layer each french bread bun with 2 patties, lettuce, onions, tomato and pickles. Add ketchup and mustard. Slice in half and serve with potato chips and pepperoncinis on the side.

Time 50m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, grated
1/2 medium Vidalia onion, minced
2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup crushed pineapple with juice
3 tablespoons molasses
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 chipotle peppers in adobo
2 pounds ground pork
Kosher salt
1 stick melted butter (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons minced garlic
One 32-inch French loaf, split and halved
3 cups grated fresh mozzarella
Dill pickles, sliced on the bias or to your liking, for garnish

Steps:

For the sauce: Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepot over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and saute until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the ketchup, pineapple, molasses, vinegar, sugar, mustard, Worcestershire and chipotles. Simmer uncovered, stirring often, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and blend with an immersion blender until mostly smooth. Reserve.
For the burgers: Preheat the grill top to medium-high to high heat.
Form the ground pork into long and rectangular patties that fit the shape of the bread, keeping in mind that there will be 2 patties per half of bread. Sprinkle the exterior with salt and place on a hot grill top for 3 minutes. Flip and cook another 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and baste generously with the BBQ sauce. Flip and continue cooking for a couple more minutes, continuously flipping and basting the burgers.
For the bread: Place the rack in the middle of the oven and set the oven to broil. Mix the melted butter with the garlic and brush on the cut sides of the bread. Top with the cheese and place under the broiler just until the edges are lightly crisped, about 2 minutes.
For the sandwich build: After your beautiful garlic bread is done, place 2 burgers on each bottom half of bread. Top with some pickles and the top half of the garlic bread. Slice each portion in half, yielding 4 sandwiches. Serve with the remaining BBQ sauce on the side and get ready to impress your family and friends.
