Coleslaw Burgers Recipes

DALLAS BURGER

Steps:

• For the BBQ sauce: Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Add the onions and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the ketchup and 1/2 cup water, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the ancho chile powder, brown sugar, mustard, paprika, vinegar, Worcestershire, honey, molasses, chile de arbol and chipotle chile and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, an additional 10 minutes.
• Transfer the mixture to a food processor and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a medium bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. Put about 1/3 cup of the BBQ sauce in a small bowl; reserve the remaining BBQ sauce in the medium bowl for spooning on top and serving.
• For the coleslaw: Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, granulated sugar, celery salt, onion and some salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cabbage and carrot and stir to combine; season with more salt and pepper if needed. Let sit at least 15 minutes before serving.
• For the burger: Heat a grill, grill pan or cast-iron griddle to high heat. Brush the grill grates, pan or griddle with the oil.
• Whisk together the ancho, paprika, mustard powder, coriander, cumin, oregano, chile de arbol, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
• Form the meat into four 6-ounce burgers. Brush the burgers with oil, season with some of the rub and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill until the burgers are golden brown and slightly charred on the bottoms, 3 to 4 minutes. Brush with the BBQ sauce from the small bowl (discard any unused sauce). Flip the burgers and continue to cook to medium doneness, about 4 minutes longer. Spoon a little of the reserved BBQ sauce on each burger and top each with a slice of cheese. If using a grill pan or griddle, fill a squeeze bottle with water and squirt the pan. Cover the burgers with a grill lid, large domed lid or large metal bowl and count to 10 -- until the cheese is melted
• Place the burgers on the bun bottoms and spoon some more of the BBQ sauce on top. Top with some of the coleslaw and a few pickles. Top with a few potato chips, if desired. Put the bun tops on and stick a 6-inch wooden skewer through each.

COLESLAW-TOPPED BBQ CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix beef and grill seasoning. Shape mixture into 4 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
• Heat 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add patties; cook 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until meat thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 160°F. Top each with cheese slice; cook 1 to 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix coleslaw mix and dressing.
• Place burgers on roll bottoms. Top each with barbecue sauce and coleslaw. Cover with roll tops.

THE FAMOUS POOL ROOM COLESLAW BURGERS

Steps:

• Put all ingredients in a large pan and just bring to a boil.
• Put slaw and burger on bun.
• The traditional way of eating this is without any other condiments.
• Put the rest of the slaw in jars and seal.
• It does not have to be refrigerated until opened.

OKLAHOMA ONION BURGERS WITH CREAMY BBQ COLESLAW

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle, large griddle pan or large cast-iron skillet over medium heat for at least 10 minutes.
• Whisk together the barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons pepperoncini liquid, mustard, smoked paprika and vinegar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Roughly chop the pepperoncini peppers and toss together with the coleslaw mix in a large bowl. Add three-quarters of the sauce and toss. Reserve the remaining sauce for the bun and burger.
• Loosely form the ground beef into 4 balls. Season with salt and pepper on all sides.
• Brush the griddle with canola oil and add 1 ball of beef griddle. Add 1/4 cup of the shaved onions on top of the ball and smash it down with a heavy metal spatula. You want to smash and spread the meatball, making sure those onions are pushed into the beef, and creating a patty that will be bigger than your bun. Cook until browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the onions are steamed and caramelized, about 2 minutes. For this burger, it's OK to give it another press with your spatula-we want that Maillard reaction (see Cook's Note). Top the burger with 1 tablespoon of the remaining mayonnaise mixture, then 2 slices of cheese and cook until melted, 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining beef, cooking in 2 batches.
• Meanwhile, spread the mayonnaise mixture on the bottom of the buns and cover with 4 dill pickle chips.
• Once the cheese has melted, place each burger on a bottom bun and top with 1/4 cup of the slaw mixture. Smash each top bun on the slaw and enjoy! Your friends will thank you.

BARBECUE TURKEY BURGERS WITH CREAMY COLE SLAW HOLDEN

Steps:

• Make burgers:
• In a small bowl stir together Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic paste, chili powder, cumin, Tabasco, and salt and pepper to taste until sauce is smooth. In a large bowl stir together turkey, onion, bread crumbs, and 1/4 cup sauce until combined well and form into six 3/4-inch-thick patties. Burgers may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Divide remaining sauce in half and put in separate bowls, half for brushing burgers on the grill and half for drizzling on cooked burgers. Chill sauce, covered.
• Make cole slaw:
• In a large bowl whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and mustard. Add remaining cole slaw ingredients and salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine well. Cole slaw may be made 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
• Prepare grill.
• Grill burgers on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, brushing frequently with barbecue sauce, 6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Drizzle burgers with remaining barbecue sauce and serve with cole slaw in pita pockets.

COLESLAW

Steps:

• In a very large bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and celery seeds. Season with salt and pepper, and mix until smooth.
• Shred the cabbage: Using a sharp knife, quarter and core the green cabbage. Arrange quarters cut side down, so they sit flat and stable. Thinly slice them lengthwise for longer shreds (or crosswise for shorter shreds). Repeat with the purple cabbage. You should get about 16 total cups of shredded green and purple cabbage.
• Add all the shredded cabbage and the shredded carrots to the bowl, season with salt and pepper, and toss until well combined. (Hands work best here.)
• Transfer coleslaw to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate 3 hours ahead of time and up to overnight for the best texture, and serve chilled.

THAI CHICKEN SLAW BURGERS

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange hamburger buns, cut-sides facing up, in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Toast buns under the preheated broiler until toasted, 30 to 60 seconds.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, tomato paste, and garlic in hot butter until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar into onion mixture.
• Stir chicken and olive oil into the skillet; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Whisk relish, lemon juice, and honey together in a large bowl; add coleslaw blend and toss to coat.
• Spoon chicken mixture into toasted buns and top with coleslaw.
