• 1 lb lean ground beef or 1 lb ground turkey
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

4. Add barbecue sauce and mustard to hot skillet; cook, stirring up browned bits, 2 minutes.
5. Place hamburger patties on bun bottoms; drizzle each with some of the sauce and place top bun on top.

Simply fabulous! I just finished the leftover burger for lunch. The flavor is so great and yet its so simple to make! I shredded some lettuce and minced some red onion and added that to the bbq sauce mix before topping the burgers. YUM! Thanks for a great recipe!
