Barbecue Burgers (Grill and barbecue hamburger recipe)

"Instead of slathering a hamburger with barbecue sauce, the sauce ingredients are added directly to the ground beef.  You can substitute ground pork, chicken, turkey or a combination, for the beef.  No need for ketchup with these burgers."  Sally Sampson From Warehouse to Your House  A great gill hamburger recipe.

• 1 bunch scallions, chopped
• Grated zest of 1/2 lemon
• 3 ounces tomato paste
• 2 - 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 1/2 pounds ground beef
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 lemons or limes, quartered

METHOD

Place all the ingredients except the beef, salt and lemon quarters in a large bowl and mix until combines.  Add the beef and mix again.  Divide into 6 - 8 patties.  (You can cover and freeze the patties for up to 3 months.)

Sprinkle with the salt.  Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and when it is very hot, add the burgers, allowing the pan to reheat for 30 seconds between additions.  Cook until deeply browned, 3 - 5 minutes on each side.  Serve immediately, garnished with the lemon quarters.
