Please See Other Recipes

Sometimes… you just need a big, juicy, flavorful burger!!  Especially one like this… that coffee rub is crazy good, and then the Dr Pepper BBQ sauce… o. m. g.  There’s coffee in the rub and a little bit in the sauce… sooooo does that mean that I can technically call this a breakfast food?  I say, sure! Because once you taste this burger, you’re going to want it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and maybe in the middle of the night
Let’s talk sauce… this homemade BBQ sauce will soon be your new favorite!  It has all the usual suspects for a BBQ sauce… the ketchup, onion, garlic, brown sugar, vinegar… with some additional surprises, like brewed coffee and Dr Pepper!!  Don’t worry, the Dr Pepper doesn’t overpower this sauce… you don’t taste it and think, “wow, Dr Pepper!”, but it’s more of a subtle kiss of flavor that linges on your tongue.  The coffee just deepens the flavor
