BARBECUE CHIPOTLE BURGERS WITH PICKLED OKRA

What better way to celebrate our beef producers than to eat a delicious burger recipe? RFD-TV’s Tammi Arender shows us a new way to dress up our burgers that will impress everyone this grilling season.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
  • 1/2 cup beer
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 slices frozen Texas Toast
  • 2 spears of pickled okra, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Barbeque Sauce: Combine the beer, brown sugar, ketchup, chipotle peppers, and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Simmer 8 to 10 minutes until sauce is thickened; set aside.
  2. Make the Patties: Lightly shape Ground Beef into four 1/2-inch thick patties.
  3. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals.
  4. Grill the patties, covered, 8 to 10 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 7 to 9 minutes) until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into the center registers 160°F, turning occasionally.
Cook’s Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.

5. Meanwhile, prepare Texas Toast according to package directions. Cut each piece of toast in half.

Cook’s Tip: Fresh Texas toast, buttered, may be used instead of frozen product.

6. For each sandwich, spread one tablespoon barbecue sauce over one toast half. Top with a burger, another tablespoon of sauce, and okra slices—close the sandwich.

Cook’s Tip: Dill pickle chips or pickled jalapeño peppers may be substituted for pickled okra.
