Espresso Rubbed Barbecued Burgers
Beef patties coated with a bold espresso and spice rub, then barbecued for a smoky, slightly bitter kick. A unique choice for coffee and burger lovers alike.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder or instant coffee powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons hickory brown sugar barbecue sauce
- 4 slices sargento® sliced reduced sodium colby-jack cheese
- 4 hamburger buns, split 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 slices large tomato
Directions:
- Form meat into four patties 5 inches in diameter and about 1/3-inch thick. Combine espresso powder and pepper; sprinkle over both sides of patties.
- Grill patties, covered, on preheated medium-hot grill, 4 to 5 minutes per side or until no longer pink in center. Brush barbecue sauce over patties; place cheese over patties. Place rolls, cut sides down, on grill. Continue to grill 1 minute or until cheese is melted and rolls are lightly toasted.
- Serve patties in rolls with lettuce and tomato.
