- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In large bowl, combine onion, garlic, 1/2 C bourbon, Worcestershire sauce, 1 T Blackberry Ginger balsamic vinegar, salt, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Add beef; mix well. Divide mixture into 32 2-oz patties. Arrange patties on three 15x10x1" baking pans. Bake in batches, uncovered, about 30 minutes or until brown and cooked through (160 degrees F). Immediately after removing from oven, transfer patties to a 3- to 4-quart slow cooker.
