The Classic BBQ Burger! A Seasoned and Seared Burger Patty basted with BBQ Sauce on a Buttered Toasted bun with Slivered Onions, Pickles, and more BBQ Sauce. Optionally, with some Mayo. The BBQ Burger is meant to be cooked on the BBQ or Grill or even in a smoker, which produces a Fantastic Patty. But there is nothing to stop you from doing this on the Stove top or oven, either. If you use the Berry BBQ Sauce or the Smokey version of Pappy BBQ Sauce, you will still get that Wonderful Smokey flavor or just add liquid smoke to your favorite BBQ Sauce. The HP BBQ Sauce is nice too.

Notes
Pappy BBQ Sauce — gives a very sweet BBQ Burger
Berry BBQ Sauce — gives a very tangy BBQ Burger with smoke flavor
HP BBQ Sauce — gives a well-rounded out umami-rich flavor BBQ Burger
Softened Onions: If wanting to heat the Onions until softened a bit. Add them to the pan after toasting the buns just for a minute or so, or until softened to your liking. Then set aside and start searing the Burger/s. If using them with Charcoal Grilling, cook the slivered Onions in the pan until softened to your liking.
