The waning days of warm weather in much of the United States mean that the outdoor grills will soon be packed away for the winter. Well, not for everyone. Some Amish do enjoy burgers on the grill year-round. And this recipe, from an Amish woman in Indiana, can be replicated in a skillet on the stovetop as easily as it can on the grill.
Reader Barbara tested out these burgers and had this to say:
"Was a great recipe for BBQ Sauce and Burgers. Grilled at about 250 and basted with the sauce. We grill out all year, even in the rain and snow, so this is a wonderful addition to our recipes to use.
