Method
Burger Patty Preparation
Prepare the Patty Mixture
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Borracho BBQ Sauce Preparation
Combine Ingredients
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, beer, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Simmer the Sauce
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
Cooking the Burger
Assembling the Burger
Toast the Buns
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
Layer the Ingredients
Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty, a slice of tomato, and top it off with crispy onions.
Finish the Burger
Cover with the top half of the bun, press down gently, and serve immediately with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
