Ingredients for Stuffed Smoked Burgers

You need ground beef for the patties. I prefer not to use extra-lean beef because it can dry out. Use anything between 73% and 85% lean for smoked or grilled burgers. You also need bacon and cheese for the filling.

I like to use sharp cheddar because it’s really tasty but if you want something different, a Mexican blend would be good. Or you could try Colby Jack or any favourite cheese you have. Worcester sauce, garlic, paprika, onion, salt, and pepper season the meat. I like to add lettuce and sliced tomato on top of my burger too.

Although there is minced onion in the patty ingredients, if you’re an onion lover you can fry some more. Then add them on top of the patty before serving. If you prefer, you can add a couple of raw onion rings on top.

How to Make a Smoked Stuffed Burger

Mix Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper into the meat. Use your hands and squish everything together well. Don’t use a food processor for this because it tends to do weird things to the texture. You can use a burger press if you have one though! You can make 12 patties with this mixture.

Next up, for the smoked cheddar bacon stuffed burgers, press into the center of 6 of the patties. Add some shredded cheese and crumbled cooked bacon then add the remaining patties on top. You just need to pinch the edges a bit to get them to seal. Make sure they’re sealed all the way around so the cheese doesn’t leak out! You will LOVE these pellet grilled stuffed burgers.

Better than Juicy Lucy!

Perhaps you’ve tried a Juicy Lucy burger before which is a cheese stuffed burger. Some fast food joints sell burgers similar to this smoked cheddar burger. The issue with these is that instead of wrapping the filling in two smaller patties to make one, it’s stuffed inside.

This makes it more difficult to seal the patties and more likely they will explode in the smoker.

It also makes it less likely you will bite into the pellet grilled burger just to have all the cheese shoot out from the other side! So if you’ve been wondering how to stuff burgers, just make two small patties, make a dent in one, fill it and add the other on top. Genius!

How Long to Smoke Burgers

You can then smoke them for 2½ hours or until they’re 165 degrees F inside. Add the buns, toppings and any sauces, and serve your bacon and cheese stuffed burgers. You’ll be really hungry when they’re done since you’ll have smelt the delicious smoky aroma for hours! These Traeger grilled stuffed burgers are a great recipe for the summer when it’s nice to be outdoors.

What to Serve with a Smoked Stuffed Burger

Burgers are always great with fries, polenta fries or onion rings. Since these smoked burgers are homemade and take 2½ hours in the smoker, you’ll have time to prepare sides. These bacon wrapped sonoran hot dogs would be a tasty addition to your burger BBQ meal.

A tossed green salad is always good with cheeseburgers or perhaps you want corn on the cob, smoked potato salad or veggie kabobs (which you can also smoke). Some sliced pickles on top of the bacon and cheese stuffed burgers would be good. Or a whole pickle on the side.

You can easily imagine how amazing smoked stuffed burgers taste. They’re similar to bacon and cheese topped patties but instead the bacon and cheese is cooked inside. If you are a ground beef fan, you may like this recipe for cheese-stuffed meatloaf or even a meatloaf with stuffing, too. Smoked Traeger hamburgers just take the classic bacon cheeseburger recipe up a notch. You can really show off your grilling prowess with these!
