Start by making the BBQ sauce in a pan.

Add 1 cup of Heinz ketchup to the pan.

Turn on the heat and add 1.5 cups of dark brown sugar.

Add 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce and 2 tablespoons of yellow mustard.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of onion salt, 2 teaspoons of granulated garlic, 2 teaspoons of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

Add 2 tablespoons of molasses and 1/2 cup of red wine vinegar.

Pour in 1/2 cup of Jack Daniels and stir well.

Add 1 cup of strong black coffee and bring the mixture to a boil.

Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 10-15 minutes.

While the sauce is cooking, prepare the beef patties using 80/20 ground chuck beef.

Season the patties with a coffee rub, flipping them to coat both sides.

Preheat the griddle and spray with cooking spray.

Cook the patties on the griddle for about 4 minutes until a nice sear forms.

Flip the patties and cook for another 4 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 155°F.

Assemble the burgers with the cooked patties and BBQ sauce.
