Directions
1. Combine the brown sugar and Rickard’s Red with the BBQ sauce in a saucepan and heat to boil.
2. Reduce heat to low to simmer.
3. Season the beef with salt and pepper and divide into four equal portions. Gently shape into patties similar in shape and size to the buns you will be serving.
4. Place patties in the fridge for 15-20 minutes; this will help keep patties together when grilling.
5. When ready to grill, use your thumb to create an indent in the center of each patty on one side. This will help keep your patties flat and not round up like large meatballs!
6. Preheat barbecue to high and oil the grids generously to avoid sticking.
7. Place the patties on the grill and reduce heat to medium. Grill approximately six minutes per side, taking care not to press down on the meat (unless you have a thing against juicy burgers!)
8. Serve with a generous helping of your Rickard’s Red BBQ sauce.
