• 2 tablespoons Coca-Cola(R)
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 10 mins

1. Put the beef, Jack Daniel’s, Coke, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and mix together lightly until combined (use your hands and take care to not overwork the meat). Shape meat mixture into 8 evenly sized 1-inch thick patties. Make an indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb.

2. Preheat a gas grill for high heat. When grill is hot, lightly oil the grate with canola oil.

3. Place patties indention side-up on grate and cook 5 minutes, then flip and cook another 5 minutes (or until patties are done to your liking).

4. Add 1 slice applewood smoked Cheddar cheese to each patty for the last minute of cooking. When done, top each patty with 2 halves of the bacon slices.

5. Now, get those patties off the grill and onto some buns! Provide condiments like ketchup, mustard, mayo, onions, lettuce, tomato, etc., so that people may dress their burgers as they please.

6. Serve with a whole bunch of Southern hospitality and enjoy them with y’all’s family and good friends.Other ideas
