Instructions
 

Homemade Molasses BBQ Sauce

  • In a medium saucepan measure all ingredients.
  • Bring to a boil and let cook while stirring for five minutes.
  • Remove from heat to let cool.
  • Store in a glass jar in the fridge for up to one month.

Hamburg Skewers

  • Dice the red onion and add to the ground beef in a mixing bowl.
  • Measure and add in the seasoned breadcrumbs.
  • Using your clean hands mix the meat mixture together until well blended.

Assembling the Hamburg Skewer

  • Grab a fistful of the meat mixture and holding a skewer in one hand put meat and skewer together.
  • Use both hands to form the meat along the skewer to one inch thickness.
  • Leave enough of the end of the skewer to grasp.
  • Place in shallow dish or plate until ready to grill.

Grilling the BBQ Hamburg Skewers

  • Grease the grill well before igniting.
  • Turn grill up med-high.
  • The temperature should be a minimum of 250℉ before placing the skewers on the grill.
  • Lay skewers on grill and let cook for one minute with grill open before turning.
  • Gently turn the skewer by grabbing the stick.
  • If you are having a hard time getting the skewer to flip gently slide a spatula/lifter underneath between the meat and the grill. Lift and gently roll skewer.
  • Start generously applying the bbq sauce to cooked sides of the meat.
  • Coat at least twice fully before removing from grill.
  • Serve straight from grill while hot as they will cool off quickly.
