Whiskey Burgers, a heart beef patty, topped with bacon, and a homemade whiskey barbecue sauce. serenabakessimplyfromscratch.com
This weeks #SundaySupper theme is Hamburgers & Hot Dogs so after some careful deliberation with Colt we settled on Whiskey Burgers. It's a simple burger patty, covered with your favorite cheese, bacon, and a whiskey barbecue sauce! 

Of course by dinner time after I had made Cheddar Cheese Hamburger Buns for the Whiskey Burgers we ended up with a thunder storm so Colt fried the burgers in the cast iron skillet. It was a much safer route then turning Colt into a human lightening bolt! 

However, I will attest Whiskey Burgers are by far a household year around favorite burger whether we grill them or fry them on the stove. Let's just say I'm a huge fan!

In a large bowl mix together 2 pounds Ground Sirloin, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce, 1 teaspoon Granulated Garlic, 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika, 1/2 teaspoon Salt, and 1/2 teaspoon Ground Pepper, until well combined.

Divide Hamburger into 6 equal sized balls. We like to use parchment paper for easy clean up.

Gently pat meat into patties.

Grill or fry in a hot skillet with 1 tablespoon Cooking Oil until desired doneness.
Whiskey-Burgers-Cheese.jpg
Once burger are done add a thick slice of  your favorite cheese, we use Cheddar. Place burgers in a warm 170 degree oven, to melt cheese if cooking on stovetop while cooking bacon, and making sauce.

If you fried the Whiskey Burgers drain off excess grease, and then fry 12 slices of Bacon until crispy. Drain bacon on paper towels.

Drain grease out of pan, add 1 large Minced Shallot, and cook until shallot starts to caramelize over medium heat. Pour in 1/4 cup Whiskey, and scrape all the flavor bits off the bottom of pan. Simmer until alcohol cooks off, about 1-2 minutes.
Whiskey-Burgers-Ketchup-Apple-Cider-Vinegar-Brown-Sugar-Smoked-Paprika-Salt-Granulated-Garlic-Pepper.jpg
Add 1 cup Ketchup, 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar, 1/4 cup Brown Sugar, 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika, 1/2 teaspoon Salt, 1/2 teaspoon Granulated Garlic, 1/2 teaspoon Pepper. Whisk until well combined, and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat.
Whiskey-Burgers-Homemade-Cheddar-Cheese-Buns.jpg
One of the important parts to building a burger is the bun, so I used Cheddar Cheese Hamburger Buns, or whatever your favorite bun is will do! If your using homemade buns slice in half using a bread knife.
Whiskey-Burgers-Bacon.jpg
Add your Hamburger Patty and 2 Strips of Bacon.

Slather your Whiskey Barbecue Sauce over the top.. Lord have Mercy that is some saucy deliciousness! 
Whiskey-Burgers-Toppings.jpg
Pile on whatever other favorite toppings you like! We kept it simple this time with tomatoes, lettuce, and a pickle on the side, but sautéed Onions, pickles, sautéed mushrooms, pickled jalapeños, mayo, and mustard are all fun additional choices for a barbecue.
A family favorite Whiskey Burgers are sure to hit the spot with a hearty meat patty, bacon, cheese, and homemade whiskey barbecue sauce. serenabakessimplyfromscratch.com
These are a favorite in our house! The Barbecue Whiskey Sauce puts these little bundles of joy over the top!
