Get ready to impress your family with a version of one of the most typical barbecue dish. Although burgers represent well and are often cooked in the summer barbecue season, these Waughburgers are anything but ordinary and is perfect for a barbecue by the Okanagan Lake. The mixture of condiments (called Waugh Sauce) is a bit unusual, but it makes a great combination with beef.
This is a perfect excuse for you to have a weekly burger day/night, but be careful, the smell and smoke of the burgers grilling may draw neighbors and uninvited people to your backyard.
