Hot and slightly lethal coke-sauce perfect for hamburgers
I ate a hamburger with cola sauce at a restaurant once and immediately fell in love with it. After some experimenting I came up with this, and in my opinion it wipes the floor with the restaurant version that inspired me. In my family this sauce is now mandatory when having burgers, no exceptions allowed!
It's a really sweet and hot sauce, you won't be disappointed.
Don't be afraid to tweak the amounts to suit your taste, to be honest I never measured anything before just now. I usually just go with "handfuls", "splashes", and "ridiculously much", it's much more fun that way :)

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Pour the cola (any brand) into a pan and bring to a boil. Do not use a light version coke, the sugar is essential!
- 2
Add all other ingredients, but hold back a little with the chilies at the start, add them carefully as you go. If you want to use fresh chilies instead of extract about 2 jalopenos or so will do, but you'll have more control with the extract. Also the liquid smoke is totally optional
- 3
Continue boiling without a lid, you want the water to evaporate.
- 4
Start tasting and adding more chili and other spices after 15 minutes or so. You'll want it pretty lethal at this point, remember that you won't be eating this straight up, only as a sauce for hamburgers, so don't be a wimp :) Take your time adjusting the taste, you can add more at any time.
- 5
Continue boiling and adjust spices. When it starts to thicken after an hour or so the pan will start to spit hot sugary stuff at you, so you'll probably want to wear long sleeves and an apron... Just don't put a lid on.
- 6
The whole process will take about 90 minutes. At first it seems like nothing happens, but near the end it will thicken faster, so keep an eye on it.
- 7
Take the sauce off the stove and pour it into a small bowl to cool when the consistency is somewhat like runny syrup. It will thicken more when it cools down. The end product will be about 3-4dl (1 1/2 cups)
- 8
Use as sauce on hamburgers, about a teaspoon or two per burger is enough for most people.

Delicious Hamburgers Simmered In Demi-glace Sauce Delicious Hamburgers Simmered In Demi-glace Sauce
My family loves hamburger steak simmered in sauce. If you use demi-glace in the simmering sauce, you'll have a restaurant-quality dish!It looks like it takes a lot of effort, but it's actually quite easy.If you buy cheap off-cuts at a butcher or supermarket and ask "Can you grind it up for me?", they will usually do it for you for free. Freshly ground meat is fresher than pre-ground of course, and it looks and tastes better. This is a lot better than buying iffy pre-ground beef! Recipe by kouayaa -

Meat Sauce and Hamburgers (Cooked Simultaneously!) Meat Sauce and Hamburgers (Cooked Simultaneously!)
It was a holiday and everyone in the family was at home, but I only had time to cook in the morning! Then I thought that if I made two dishes with the same ingredients and the same prep work and made them at the same time, I could make lunch and dinner both at once.They are both meat dishes, but if you feel like it you can use quite a lot more vegetables, and no one will complain!You can sauté the chopped onions and carrots if you want, but I didn't have time to let them cool down, so I use the onions uncooked and boiled the carrots.Adjust the ratio of ground meat and vegetables to your taste.You can use more meat, or more vegetables, but either way it will taste more or less the same in the end.

Juicy Hamburger Steak in Steak Sauce Juicy Hamburger Steak in Steak Sauce
I thought up this hamburger with an elegant steak sauce that's neither Japanese-style or demi-glacé.Be careful not to burn the sauce when simmering it. It'll make the flavor bitter.These hamburger steaks don't use caramelized onions, so they're a bit healthier than your usual kind.Mixing in rice grains will make them even plumper.

Hamburger Steak with Whisky Peppercorn Sauce Hamburger Steak with Whisky Peppercorn Sauce
The sauce here has proved rich and flavourful, the whisky adding a smoky note. The sauce should probably work just as well for steaks and roasts too.

Hamburger Steaks With Ankake Mushroom Sauce Hamburger Steaks With Ankake Mushroom Sauce
I wanted to make it easy for those times when you're really busy, so I didn't sauté the onions first, or soak the breadcrumbs - I just mixed everything together. Usually you put in milk, but water and sake work well in this recipe. Hamburger steaks made carefully are delicious of course, but if you're covering them will lots of sauce, this recipe is just fine.These are rather soft hamburger steaks, since they have lots of onion and breadcrumbs in them. If you cover them with a lid while cooking they will plump up but the meat juices will leak out, so I cook them without a lid. Check for doneness by looking at them from the sides. This method is foolproof, since the parts that have changed color are cooked through. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei -
