Recipe

Ingredients

  1. 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  2. 1/2 small onion, finely shredded
  3. 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
  4. 2 tablespoons sugar
  5. 2 teaspoons celery seeds
  6. 8 cups shredded green cabbage
  7. 1 large carrot, finely shredded
  8. Salt and freshly ground pepper
  9. burgers
  10. 2 pounds ground beef chuck
  11. Vegetable oil, for rubbing
  12. Salt and freshly ground pepper
  13. 3/4 cup barbecue sauce
  14. 4 hamburger buns, split
  15. Sliced pickles

Directions

  1. Make the Coleslaw: In a large bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the onion, vinegar, sugar and celery seeds. Add the shredded cabbage and carrot, season with salt and pepper and toss well. Let stand until slightly softened, about 25 minutes.
  2. Make the Burgers: Light a grill. Form the beef into 4 patties; rub with oil and season with salt and pepper. Sear over high heat, turning once, for 5 minutes for medium-rare. Brush with 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce and grill until glazed, about 1 minute per side.
  3. Grill the buns and brush them with the remaining barbecue sauce. Top with the burgers, pickles and coleslaw and serve.

A great change from a normal burger and very simple.  The slaw is excellent and don't forget the Shiner Bock!

Made these for dinner last night- they were yummy and they were FAST!!!!  A great change from a plain cheeseburger, I used preshredded coleslaw mix, instead of shredding it myself, to save time.  This definately reminded me of a brisket sandwich, and we all enjoyed it.
