BBQ sauce

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

Season the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce and holy gospel rub in a clear bowl.

Place two sheets of parchment paper on a flat surface.

Use a spatula to smash the beef down thinly to form patties.

Create two patties and place Gouda cheese in the center of one, adding a dab of barbecue sauce on top.

Cover with the second patty and seal the edges tightly.

Preheat a cast iron skillet on the grill to 500-550°F.

Cook the patties until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

Add slices of pickles on top of the Juicy Lucy burgers and serve with barbecue beans.
