Instructions
Make the Coleslaw: In a large bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the grated onion, vinegar, sugar and celery seeds. Add the shredded cabbage and carrot, season with salt and pepper and toss well. Let stand until slightly softened, about 25 minutes.
Make the Slaw Burgers: Heat a grill to 450 degrees. Turn down the heat to 350 once those grates are nice and hot.
Form the beef into 4 patties; rub with oil and season with salt and pepper. Sear over high heat, turning once, for 5 minutes for medium-rare. Brush with ½ cup of the barbecue sauce and grill until glazed, about 1 minute per side.
Grill the buns and brush them with some of the remaining barbecue sauce. Top with the burgers, pickles and coleslaw, and more bbq sauce if you want.
Notes
What's The Easiest Way To Shred Cabbage For Cole Slaw? My preferred method is to use my old fashioned box grater. Using the large slots on the side of the box grater. Works like a charm. You can also use the slicing wheel of a food processor. And a chef's knife works well to thin slice cabbage into shreds.Use the large holes of a box grater to shred the carrot and onion.
