Tennessee Whiskey Burgers
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
6 slices cheese (optional)
6 strips cooked bacon (optional)
6 buns or English muffins
Smoky Jack Burger Sauce
3 tablespoons Jack Daniel’s® Tennessee Whiskey
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons garlic salt
2 teaspoons liquid smoke
Chili Jack Burger Sauce
3 tablespoons Jack Daniel’s® Tennessee Whiskey
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons garlic salt
2 teaspoons chili powder
For either burger recipe, combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Add
3 tablespoons of the whiskey sauce to the ground beef in a large mixing
bowl.
Blend well with your hands and form into 6 patties. Sear the patties about 2
to 3 minutes per side directly over high heat. Reduce heat to medium or move to a cooler area of the grill.
Baste both sides with the remaining sauce and grill until the burgers are
cooked through. During the last minutes of cooking, top with cheese and
bacon, both optional, and lightly toast the buns or English muffins over
medium heat.
Makes 6 servings.
