As the Winter starts so does comfort food season. Personally I’m missing the sunshine already and the summer food too. Although I have just discovered a brilliant alternative to the BBQ. I have started adding the sauce to the meat and then cooking it. The meat is automatically packed with a smokey BBQ flavour. This makes the burger a perfect family dinner or if you just want to treat yourself. We love it and we hope you will too. Below is a video and recipe for you.
