Tennessee Whiskey Burgers

Choose which sauce you will be using, Smoky or Chili. For either burger recipe, combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of the whiskey sauce to the ground beef in a large mixing bowl. Blend well with your hands and form into 6 patties. Sear the patties about 2 to 3 minutes per side directly over high heat. Reduce heat to medium or move to a cooler area of the grill. Baste both sides with the remaining sauce and grill until the burgers are cooked through. (Try about 5-6 minutes on each side depending on your grill's tendencies) During the last minutes of cooking, top with cheese and bacon, both optional, and lightly toast the buns or English muffins over medium heat. Use whatever fixings you like; I like lettuce & tomato!
