Cowboy BBQ Cheeseburger.

Burgers should always be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F using a meat thermometer.  Use a gentle touch with ground beef.  Over mixing or compacting will result in firm dense burgers when cooked.  Circle the chuck wagons and call the cowboys to dinner.

1 lean ground beef
3 cloves minced garlic
 ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning (like Tony Chachere's)
 ½ teaspoon salt
 ½ teaspoon pepper
¼ cup hot or hearty barbecue sauce
4 Kaiser rolls or hamburger buns

In medium bowl, combine all ingredients mixing lightly but thoroughly. 

  1. Shape into 4 patties. 

  2. Place patties on grid over medium ash-covered coals. 

  3. Grill uncovered 14-16 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160°F, turning once.

  4. Place burger patties on buns and serve.
