Cola Burgers
Cola is mixed into the beef or used in a glaze, adding sweetness and depth. A surprisingly delicious trick that caramelizes beautifully when grilled.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup cola-flavored carbonated beverage, divided
- 1/2 cup crushed saltine crackers 6 tablespoons french salad dressing, divided
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
Directions
- Preheat a grill for high heat. When the grill is hot, lightly oil the grate.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the egg, 1/4 cup of cola, crackers, 2 tablespoons of French dressing, and Parmesan cheese. Crumble in the ground beef, and mix well. Form into 6 balls, and pat into 3/4 inch patties. Pour the remaining cola and dressing into a small bowl, and mix well.
- Grill burgers for about 3 minutes per side. Brush with the dressing and cola, then grill for 8 to 10 more minutes, basting occasionally
