Serves 4
Grate your onion right into the burger to keep it moist, plus add the bacon bits; a peach barbecue ketchup tops this sensational combo.
Ingredients
For the sauce:
- 1 cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 cup grated onion
- 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper

- 2 tablespoons brown or yellow mustard
- Canola or olive oil
- Pretzel rolls or burger buns, split

Directions
- Combine the sauce ingredients in a small pot and simmer over medium heat to thicken and cook down the peaches.
- Pre-heat the grill or a griddle pan.
- Bake the bacon on a slotted broiler pan in a 375°F to crisp; chop.
