Get your friends and family together for some friendly competition and delicious BBQ burgers in an all hands on deck, cook-off style grill session. Here are the rules of the BBQ Burger Cook-Off:

Every couple or family can choose only one recipe to create for the competition.

Everyone has forty-five minutes to prepare their burgers, and begins at the same time.

Meat for the burger and additional ingredients for the burger (veggies, bun, sauces, accoutrements) should be brought by the team, from their home.

Every team makes enough burgers so that they can be cut into fourths and every guest gets to taste at least one quarter of each type of burger.

After all the burgers have been tasted, guests can rank their favorite three BBQ burgers on a sheet of paper, but cannot rank their own teams burger.

To tally the results, give each burger with a #1 ranking three points, each burger with a #2 ranking two points, and each burger with a #3 ranking 1 point, so that each #1 rating a burger receives weighs higher than the burgers that receive a #2 ranking or #3 ranking.

The burger recipe with the most points overall wins the grand prize " a new set of BBQ tools.
