Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine oleo, A.1. sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoned salt.
- Melt the mixture together in a microwave or in a saucepan on the stove.
- Mix the sauce into the hamburger in a bowl.
- Let the mixture stand for 30 minutes.
- Form into patties and broil over medium charcoal fire.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using ground beef with a higher fat content. If you don't have A.1. sauce, a mix of soy sauce and a dash of vinegar can work as a substitute. Additionally, adding diced onions or minced garlic to the hamburger mixture can enhance the overall taste. Remember to adjust the seasoned salt based on your preference for saltiness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the barbecue hamburger patties on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, and pickles. These burgers pair beautifully with Bill Edwardsen'S Famous Corn Chowder for a hearty meal. For sides, consider coleslaw or sweet potato fries to complement the barbecue flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the patties on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel; heat in 30-second intervals until warmed through. Alternatively, reheat on a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side for better texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this sauce ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the barbecue sauce in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just be sure to mix it well before incorporating it into the hamburger meat. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
What can I use instead of hamburger?
If you're looking for alternatives to hamburger, ground turkey or chicken can be used for a leaner option. For a vegetarian choice, consider using black beans or lentils, mashed and combined with the sauce for a flavorful mix.
How do I know when the patties are cooked through?
To ensure the patties are fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). If you don't have a thermometer, cut one patty in half to check that it is no longer pink inside.
