We do many variations of this burger once summer hits. The key is a nice balance of sweet, spicy & citrus flavors and a charcoal grill.
Ingredients
Burger
3/4 cup bbq sauce
1/3 cup tomato sauce or chopped canned tomatoes
3 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
1/3 cup honey
2 beef paties
1 log of goat cheese, sliced
2 sesame buns
Spicy Slaw
4 cups thinly sliced cabbage
2/3 cup blood orange vinegar
3/4 cup mayo
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
Directions
Start with the slaw, which can be made several hours ahead of time. Blend the vinegar, mayo, and chipotles, mix with cabbage and refrigerate until ready for use.
For the burger glaze, blend bbq sauce, tomatoes, chipotles, and honey. Season burger patties with salt and pepper and place over med-high heat on grill. As the burgers cook, paint with about 4 coats of the glaze.
Once they begin to approach desired doneness, move to indirect heat, add goat cheese and cover grill until cheese begins to melt.
Toast buns lightly and assemble burgers with spicy slaw.
