Well seasoned, juicy burgers with a refreshing smoky flavor. This has been my favorite homemade burger for years.ย After eating one recently, decided to provide you with the recipe!
The inspiration for this recipe was a desire for a great tasting burger without garlic (fresh or powder).ย Nothing against garlic.ย I just wanted a different flavor.
So, I got busy in the kitchen adding a some simple ingredients which include Worcestershire sauce and Liquid Smoke (see recipe notes).
For a delicious weeknight meal, drizzle burgers with my homemade Smoky Sauce.ย ย Serve with Corn on the Cob.
Enjoy!

For this recipe, I used Wright's Liquid Smoke.ย This smoked seasoning contains water and natural hickory smoke concentrate.ย No preservatives.ย This is a friendly mention. Not a paid endorsement.
When my gorgeous grill pan arrived awhile back,ย I photographedย it in the box.ย This excellent cookware provided byย Lodge Manufacturing.
