Bbq Burger Recipe

Form the Patties

In a bowl, take the ground beef and season it with salt and pepper. Form the beef into 4 equal-sized patties.

Cook the Patties

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

Add Cheese

In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover it until the cheese melts.

Toast the Buns

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

Assemble the Burger

Spread BBQ sauce on the bottom half of each bun, place the cheese-topped patty on top, and add more BBQ sauce if desired. Top with the other half of the bun.

Slice the Onion

Peel the onion and slice it into 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

Prepare the Batter

In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the milk until the batter is smooth.

Heat the Oil

In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Onion Rings

Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Drain and Serve

Remove the onion rings with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot as a topping for the burgers or as a side.
