Servings: 6
Equipment
- Metal Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 Pounds ground beef
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Pound bacon
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- 1 Teaspoon black pepper
- 1 Teaspoon garlic fresh, minced
- 1 Teaspoon ground paprika
- ½ white onion minced
- 8 Ounces cheddar cheese shredded
- 6 burger buns
Instructions
- Cook bacon and crumble, set aside in a small bowl. Shred the cheese and set aside in a small bowl.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, and onion. Mix well to combine and form into 12 thin patties (about ¼-inch thick). You can use your hands to do this.
- Preheat smoker to 200°F for 15 minutes.
- Arrange 6 patties on a cutting board. Press lightly to form a slight indent in the center. Fill each center with about 2 Tablespoons of crumbled bacon and shredded cheese. Then, top each with remaining patties. Pinch the edges to seal.
- Place patties directly onto the grill grate and close the lid. Smoke for 2 ½ hours or until internal temperature hits 165°F.
- Place burger buns onto grill grates for 10 minutes towards the end of cooking time.
- Assemble the burgers and add your favorite toppings.
Notes
Don’t overmix the beef: This keeps the patties tender.
Seal the patties well: To prevent cheese from leaking during smoking.
Use a meat thermometer: Ensure they reach a safe internal temperature.
Let them rest: Resting helps retain juices before serving.
