BARBECUE CHIPOTLE BURGERS

Whip up your own beer-based barbecue sauce, then slather it on a perfectly prepared Ground Beef patty. Serve it all up in a “bun” of delicious Texas Toast.

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 pickled okra, sliced

COOKING:

• To prepare barbecue sauce, combine beer, brown sugar, ketchup, chipotle peppers and Worcestershire sauce in saucepan; bring to a boil. Simmer 8 to 10 minutes until sauce is thickened; set aside.
• Lightly shape Ground Beef into four 1/2-inch thick patties. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 8 to 10 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 7 to 9 minutes) until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into 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.

• 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.

• For each sandwich, spread 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce over one toast half. Top with burger, another tablespoon sauce and okra slices. Close sandwich.

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

SAFE HANDLING TIPS:

• Wash hands with soap and water before cooking and always after touching raw meat.
• Separate raw meat from other foods.
• Wash all cutting boards, utensils, and dishes after touching raw meat.
• Do not reuse marinades used on raw foods.
• Wash all produce prior to use.
• Cook beef until temperature reaches 145°F for medium-rare steaks and roasts 160°F for ground beef.
• Refrigerate food promptly.
