barbecue burgers

This week I had the boys pick meals for the menu since they are home for the summer.  Duncan chose a recipe from an old Betty Crocker magazine for Dijon burgers.  I went to make them and felt nothing like Dijon burgers - I'm not a mustard fan in the first place, so I mad them Barbecue burgers.  I also didn't feel like chopping onions to put in the burgers because we got started late, I was making buns, wanted to make a dessert...
This is what I ended up doing.

Burger Ingredients

• 1/4 cup fat-free egg product (maybe a tablespoon or 2 more- it was what was left in the carton)
• 2 Tablespoons Barbecue Sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3 slices of bread - toasted and turned to crumbs in the blender
• 1.5 lbs extra lean ground beef

Extras

• buns -I actually used my favorite whole wheat bread recipe - doubled it and made 1/2 into buns and 1/2 into a loaf of bread
• tomatoes (fresh from the garden - yum)
• lettuce
• dill pickles
• barbecue sauce
• mayo
• cheese slices (we used colby jack)
• onion slices

Directions

1. Heat coals (or gas grill, or oven to broil.)
2. Mix all burger ingredients.  Shape into 6 patties.  
3. Grill burgers (or broil 5 inches from heat for 10 minutes turning once)  Add cheese during last minute of cooking so it melts.
4. Serve with desired toppings. We used what I listed in extras.
