Instructions

Conbine all glaze ingredients except corn starch and 1 tbs water in a medium size cooking pot and bring to a rapid boil on the side burner of a gas grill. Continue to boil for 3-5 minutes. Whisk corn starch and 1 tbls cold water together and slowly add to glaze until desired consistancy is reached (I prefer a thicker galze similar to a barbeque sauce). Turn off heat and let cool while preparing hamburger patties. Strain and reserve vegetables. Form hamburger into 6 equal patties Sprinkle patties with ground lemon pepper and salt. Reserved vegetables may be added into the patties, reseved for toppings or discarded. We always use a topping. Brush each patty with the glaze and lighty season with cracked lemon pepper and salt. Heat grill to a medium range and grill the burgers brushing lightly 2-3 times on each side with the glaze. Continue cooking until desired doneness. Approixmately 4-5 minutes for medium, longer for well done. Optional toppings Cracked peper bacon, fry in a small pan using the side burnger of the grill 4-6 strips of bacon. Place 1/2 to one piece of bacon on each cooked patty. Sliced Colby Jack Cheese Place each patty on one bakery poppy seed roll. Enjoy
