A BBQ hamburger that has evolved over time and practice, with many ideas received along the years. Make sure you start with your meat at or near room temperature. Cooking is everything, follow the BBQ advice closely! Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef |
3/4 cup caesar-flavor croutons (herb and garlic, crushed) |
1 egg |
3 tablespoons bacon bits |
2 tablespoons deli prepared hot mustard |
2 tablespoons minced garlic |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
1 tablespoon onion powder |
3 tablespoons cattleman's classic barbecue sauce |
1 tablespoon hy's seasoning salt |
1/4 cup maple syrup |
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese |
mesquite wood chips, soaked |
Directions:
1. Assemble ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix using a fork, until this is very well combined.
2. Form into patties approximately 3.5 diameter, 3/4 thick, squaring the edges so that they are not overcooked.
3. Set the patties in the fridge for one hour.
4. Heat BBQ to high , then reduce heat on one side to minimum, the other to half capacity.
5. Dump soaked mesquite chips on hot side of grill, allow them to come to a flame.
6. Place burgers on the grill allowing a sear mark to develop, then rotate 90 degrees for a thatched appearance.
7. Close grill hood, and allow burgers to slow cook -
8. Flip the burgers and close the hood again.
9. Use a meat thermomemter to prove doneness as rge smoke and the sugars in the ingredients will give colouring that will confuse you otherwise-aim for about 175 degrees -
10. Served with sliced refridgerator dill pickles, garden fresh tomato slices, sliced white onion, on a toasted sourdough bun.
