When I get the juice from the beef, the spice from the seasonings, and the smoky flavor from the Cowboy Charcoal all in one crispy edge bite, then I am in love! Nothing can beat that moment. So if you are like me, then this Charred BBQ Burger is just what you need in your life. Post Sponsored by Cowboy Charcoal <br> Where do we start with this Charred BBQ Burger? First off, you are going to make a juicy patty. The key to making flavorful patties is not over-forming the burger. No need to smash all of the ground beef together so hard that it is a rock. No, gently create the patty with minimal contact. Once that is done you are ready to season. I like to add my seasoning on the top of the patties & not in the mix. This actually helps to keep the moisture inside the burger, as some seasonings & salts will draw the moisture out. We want a moist Charred BBQ Burger… I’m sure there is a better way to say that.
