How to Make Awesome Sauce Burgers

These hamburgers are very easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. In a small bowl, combine honey mustard dressing, teriyaki sauce, and hot sauce. Set aside. In a medium bowl, gently combine ground beef, hamburger seasoning, and half of the honey mustard mixture. Form the meat into patties. Cook hamburgers until they reach your desired doneness basting with the remaining sauce before removing them from the pan.

Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

• Do not overwork your ground beef. Make an indentation with your finger in the center to prevent the burger from plumping up in the center while cooking.
• The burgers can be cooked outside on the grill or on the stovetop in a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  • If you are cooking them inside, feel free to add a dash of liquid smoke to the hamburger mixture. That will give them the flavor of being cooked outside on the grill without actually cooking them on the grill.
• You can make the burgers ahead of time and refrigerate the patties overnight or freeze them for later.
• I use a kitchen scale and a burger press with burger papers to make the patties. I buy everything on Amazon. Here are the products that we use (affiliate links):
• Can substitute ground turkey for turkey burgers.
• I use Ken’s Honey Mustard, Sweet Baby Ray’s Teriyaki Sauce, and Frank’s Hot Sauce.
• If you can’t find McCormick’s Hamburger Seasoning, substitute Montreal Steak Seasoning or your favorite spices.
• Top the burgers with your favorite cheese. American, cheddar, and swiss cheese are all delicious.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
