Packed Brown Sugar
Beer
Yellow Mustard
Cider Vinegar
Thinly Sliced Cabbage

Directions:

To prepare barbecue sauce, on the grill's side burner, combine brown sugar, beer, mustard and vinegar in small saucepan; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer 15 to 17 minutes until thickened and reduced in to 1/2 cup, stirring occasionally.
Lightly shape Ground Beef into four 1/2-inch thick patties.
Preheat grill to medium.
Place patties on cooking grid; grill, covered, 7 to 9 minutes until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally.
About 2 minutes before burgers are done, place bun, cut sides down, on grid. Grill until lightly toasted.
Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
Spoon 1 tbsp sauce on bottom of each bun; top with burger. Evenly top burgers with cabbage. Evenly spoon remaining sauce over cabbage. Close sandwiches.
Top shredded cabbage with fried dill pickle chips, if desired.
