Oh So Good Jack Daniel's Burgers taste amazing! Easy to make and full of flavor to give you a delicious juicy burger

These juicy burgers are so delicious! They're full of great flavors and very easy to make from scratch..

A good meat burger recipe will use a mix of half pork and half beef

For this recipe, I've used a lovely marinade combination of Jack Daniel's, garlic, and a mix of half pork and half beef ground meat.

The reason for mixing beef and pork is to give you the juiciness the pork provides from the extra fat content. That way, when you're grilling these Jack Daniel's burgers, they won't dry out and they'll also hold their shape better because the extra bit of fat from the ground pork helps keep the burger together during cooking.

Why add Jack Daniel's to the burgers?

The addition of Jack Daniel's in the burger mixture really does make a difference to the flavor. The alcohol burns off during cooking, so these burgers are kid friendly. The Jack Daniel's helps to tenderise the beef, making it very tender, and the combination with the garlic and basil is really quite a lovely taste.

How can I freeze these burgers?

These Jack Daniel's Burgers are great for a party! You can make ahead, and as you'll see in the recipe below, as you're making them, simply place each burger on a cut-out square of parchment so you can stack them without worrying they'll stick together. Then they're ready for popping in a ziplock bag and freezing. Easy to get one or two out when you see the sun suddenly come out and decide to have a spontaneous BBQ!

Serve these delicious Jack Daniel's Burgers with a lovely salad, such as our very popular Corn and Cucumber Picnic Salad,

and some lovely Low Fat But Creamy Coleslaw

Perfect for a weeknight dinner, served with some lovely Soft Bread Rolls, or some baked spiced baby potatoes and carrots. These burgers will be suitable for serving any time of the year, and so quick and convenient too!

Prep Time

10 Minutes

Cook Time

10 Minutes

Serves

9 Burgers

Ingredients you'll need

• Ground Beef - If your beef is extra lean, use ⅓ beef and ⅔ pork. You need a bit of fat to stop the burgers from breaking apart.
• Ground Pork
• Egg
• Fresh basil leaves
• Ground Paprika
• Scallions - The added scallions or spring onions give these burgers a sprinkling of color and also an extra texture dimension, and also a gentle onion flavor, not as harsh as using white onions.
• Garlic, minced
• Jack Daniel's

Instructions

1. Place ground beef and pork in a mixing bowl. Add all the other ingredients and combine well. I usually just use my hand and mix everything together.

2. Cut 11 squares of parchment paper, approximately 4 inches by 4 inches.

3. Place your ring mould on a square of the cutout parchment (I use large 3 ½ inch diameter ring moulds). If you don't have ring moulds, a large round cookie cutter of the same size will also work.

4. Place 2 - 3 tablespoons of the burger mixture in each ring mould and using the back of a spoon, push the meat down, taking care to get the meat around the sides of the mould. Use the back of the spoon to even the surface then carefully remove the ring mould.

***Note: You can make the burgers any thickness you wish. However, don't make them thinner than an inch as they will be difficult to turn when you're grilling.

5. Continue making the burgers using the ring moulds until there's no more burger mixture left.

6. Stack the burgers with their parchment on top of each other and place in the fridge for a minimum of an hour so they firm up before grilling.

** Alternatively, you can freeze some, with them stacked on the parchment paper and placed in a ziplock bag. I usually freeze 4 per bag for ease.

7. When you're ready to cook, simply place on your hot grill, or pan fry. Flip over when one side is brown, and cook until the meat is no longer pink. This should take around 5 -6 minutes in total. Because this mixture contains pork, I would not suggest you cook these rare.

8. Serve with some salad, coleslaw and delicious bread rolls.
