A flavorful twist on a classic burger, featuring a zesty sauce and juicy beef patties.
Combine the spicy ketchup and hot sauce in a bowl to create the zesty sauce.
Adjust the spiciness of the sauce by varying the amount of hot sauce.
Mix the ground beef with half of the zesty sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Avoid overmixing the beef to keep the patties tender.
Shape the beef mixture into four equal patties.
Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Grill the patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the patties reach a safe internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Serve the burgers topped with the remaining zesty sauce and your favorite toppings.
Serve on toasted buns for added texture and flavor.
