Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef with 2 cloves of minced black garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well using your hands until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that is slightly larger than the burger buns. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheddar. Add a slice of tomato, and drizzle 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce on top before placing the top half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Black Barrel Burgers immediately with your choice of sides, such as fries or a salad.
