Gerry's Sauced Hamburgers

This recipe is an oldie but goodie and enjoyed by children and adults alike. This is an excellent 'make ahead' to have prepared and ready to heat when you know your B.B.Q. will be filled with adult fare. Make extra because you'll find the youngsters will have to share these burgers with the adults ...they can't resist despite the adult choices on the menu!

• Ready In: 1 hr 5 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 12  hamburger patties (purchased patties or your favorite recipe made up into 12 patties.)
• 12  hamburger buns

• Sauce

• 1 1⁄4 cups catsup
• 1⁄2 cup water
• 1⁄4 cup brown sugar
• 2  tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard

Directions

1. Pan fry or grill the hamburger patties.
2. Drain patties on paper towel.
3. Put prepared patties in a casserole dish or a roaster.
4. Prepare Sauce (I usually double the recipe to have extra on hand) In a medium pot add the sauce ingredients and blend smooth with a whisk.
5. Cook gently over medium heat, stirring until heated through.
6. Pour over the prepared patties.
7. At this point you may cover and refrigerate until ready to heat for your meal.
8. If preparing this at mealtime, place in a 300 degree oven for 25 minutes or until nicely heated through.
9. I like serving marinated onions, sliced tomatoes, pickles and all the extras that make for a loaded burger.
