When I plan a casual country cookout, I invite these dressed-up burgers to the table. Bacon, lettuce, tomato and cheese toppings and a touch of sauce really boost the flavor. And the mildly seasoned meat turns out nice and juicy.

Ingredients

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon lime juice, divided
2 tablespoons cola, divided
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 pound ground beef
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

This recipe uses unusual ingredients to create a fantastic tasting burger! Orange juice, garlic, soy sauce and cola make these burgers extremely moist and full of flavor in every bite. I also mix an egg into the beef to help them hold together better. Fantastic! Try for yourself and see, you won't be disappointed!
