First of all my go to barbecue sauce for years with sweet baby rays… long story short I got tired of it and I was on a lookout for a new sauce to use on a regular basis. But instead of going to a big box store and just grabbing whatever I decided to go local and try this veteran company out and man I’m glad I did. This barbecue sauce is absolutely amazing. I get that there’s different sauces and different different styles and different kinds of cooking and things like that but this barbecue sauce is a straight up right down the middle fabulous sauce to use… so much flavor so much barbecue punch.. I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.

The How To:
Ingredients
For the Smash Burger
- 1 lb. Ground Beef (80/20)
- 1 tbsp. Backyard Burger Blend
- 6 Sharp Cheese (shredded or thin slices)
- 3 tbsp. Unsalted Butter
- Lowcountry Gold
For Caramelized Onions (optional)
- 1 Sweet Onion (medium, julienned)
- 4 tbsp. Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 tsp. Backyard Burger Blend
Instructions
- Turn flattop (or skillet!) to high heat. Place 1/2 tbsp. Butter in skillet. Allow to melt.
- While heating, form Burger into 1/4 pound balls. Once skillet is to temp, place ball into skillet.
- SMASH!
- Let sear for another 3 minutes. While searing, season top of Burger Blend liberally (about 1 tsp. per patty). After seasoning, top with layer of Lowcountry Gold.
- Flip Burger and place cheese on top instantly. Cook for another 1 minute.
Pull and place on Bun! - Top with Caramelized Onion and Burger Sauce!
- MUNCH!
For Caramelized Onions
- Thinly julienne your Onion.
- In a pan, turned to medium low, place in 4 tbsp. Butter. Allow to melt and add all Onions. Stir occasionally.
- Allow Onions to turn brown and almost paste like. Just before you pull, add Salt and stir.
Notes
- proper caramelized onion will add about 40 minutes to this recipe. A classic burger won't take very long
- Play around with different cheeses (cheddar with blue cheese, havarti and smoked gouda, etc)
- Instead of Burger Blend try using Caffe Tailgate, Steakhouse, or Texas Crutch!
