Steps:
- For coffee rub:
- Mix all ingredients in small bowl. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
- For burgers:
- Cook bacon in large skillet until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Break in half. Gently mix chuck and sirloin in large bowl. Form meat into 8 patties, each 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter and 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick. Using thumb, make slight indentation in center of each burger. DO AHEAD: Burgers and bacon can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover separately and chill.
- Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Sprinkle 1 teaspoon coffee rub on top side of each burger. Place burgers, rub side down, on grill rack. Grill until slightly charred, about 4 minutes; turn.
- Place 2 bacon slice halves atop each burger. Cook 3 minutes.
- Top each with 1 cheese slice. Cover and cook until cheese melts, about 1 minute longer. Place burgers atop bottom halves of buns. Top with onion slices and tomato slices. Spoon dollop of Texas Barbecue Sauce over. Cover with bun tops and serve, passing additional sauce alongside.
- What to drink:
- Beer is a natural pairing for a burger. Keep the southern theme going by pouring a Texas brew. We like the caramel sweetness and mild hoppy flavor of Shiner Bock ($8 per six-pack).
DR PEPPER BBQ SAUCE
My family is stationed in Italy with my husband, Lieutenant William Robert Blackman. William grew up in Memphis, Tennessee, and I'm from Texas, so the dish that spells "home" for us is a good ol' barbecue. I have my own recipe for barbecue sauce that we like to pour all over sliced brisket. Eating it reminds us of weekend barbecues with our families. -Tina Blackman, Naples, Italy

Yield Makes 5 cups
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- 1. In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter. Sauté the onion and garlic in the butter until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add all the remaining ingredients and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the flavors have blended. Continue cooking until the sauce begins to thicken, 20 to 30 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper if desired. Remember, the ribs will have plenty of spice rub on them, so don't overseason the sauce.
- 2. Let the sauce cool for about 10 minutes or until it is warm but no longer "boiling" hot. Puree with an immersion or traditional blender-this will make the sauce thicker. Let cool. The sauce will keep, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- 3. Brush it on food 5 to 15 minutes before the cooking time is finished. If desired, serve extra on the side.
Tips:
- Use a coarse grind for the coffee rub to ensure a flavorful crust on the burgers.
- Don't overwork the ground beef when mixing the patties. Overworking can make the burgers tough.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve the burgers with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
Conclusion:
These coffee-rubbed burgers with Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce are a delicious and unique twist on a classic dish. The coffee rub adds a rich, smoky flavor to the burgers, while the Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce is tangy and sweet. These burgers are sure to be a hit at your next cookout or barbecue.
