Todd and Diane say: "Packed with flavor, these grilled burgers will be a hit at your next bbq. Seasoned with a touch of fresh garlic and dressed with fresh, easy-to-make BBQ sauce makes these burgers outstanding!"

Ingredients

• For the burgers:
• 2 lbs ground beef
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed (add more garlic for the bold!)
• fresh cracked black pepper to taste
• sea salt

• For the sauce:
• 3 Tbs Vegetable Oil
• 1/2 Lrg Sweet Onion, finely diced
• 3 Cloves Garlic, mashed
• 1/2 c Pineapple, finely diced
• 1/2 c Tomato Sauce
• 1/2 c Ketchup, our Asian Ketchup works great
• 1/2 c Apple Cider Vinegar
• 3 Tbs Worcestershire
• 1 1/2 Tbs Fresh Lemon Juice
• 3 Tbs Brown sugar
• 2 Tbs Molasses
• 1 Tbs Deli Mustard
• 1 Tbs dry Hot Mustard
• 1 Thai Chili
• 1 tsp Sriracha Hot Sauce
• 1 tsp Soy Sauce
• 1 c Water
• Fresh Ground Pepper

Directions

Step 1
For the sauce: Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and saute for a few minutes until soft. Add the remaining ingredients, then continue to cook for 15 more minutes. Taste for seasoning and adjust individual ingredients to create a nice balance between the flavor elements. Allow to cool a bit. If a finer texture is desired, puree in a blender, then strain and store. Otherwise, after cool, store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Step 2
Gently mix beef, garlic and pepper. Form patties.

Step 3
Right before grilling, season patties with sea salt on both sides. Oil grill grate, then grill! Assemble, top with sauce and serve.
