Smoked BBQ Burger

The smoked BBQ burger is a peak of American barbecue culture, combining the rich flavor of slow-smoked ground beef with juicy BBQ sauce and classic burger ingredients. The result is an incredibly succulent and flavorful burger that is every barbecue enthusiast's dream. The hamburger is one of the most iconic dishes of American gastronomy, but adding the smoking technique can elevate it to a whole new level. The smoke from hickory or oak wood lends a deeper flavor to the beef patty, while the BBQ sauce and cheddar cheese create a harmonious balance. This dish is the perfect choice for BBQ parties, family grilling, or a hearty weekend dinner. If you want a truly authentic BBQ experience, serve it with fries and a fresh coleslaw!

    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Gently mix until just combined, then form into four equal-sized patties.

    2

    Preheat your smoker or grill to 225-250°F (110-120°C), and prepare your smoking wood for the desired smoke flavor.

    3

    Place the beef patties on the smoker grate and smoke for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130-140°F (55-60°C) for medium-rare.

    4

    During the last 10 minutes of smoking, brush the patties with BBQ sauce to allow the flavors to meld together.

    5

    Cook the bacon slices in a skillet or on the grill until crispy.

    6

    Halve the hamburger buns and toast them on the grill or in a skillet until lightly golden.

    7

    Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each smoked patty and allow it to melt.

    8

    Assemble the burgers: on the bottom bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cheesy patty, crispy bacon, tomato slices, and red onion.

    9

    Drizzle with a little extra BBQ sauce and Dijon mustard, then top with the other half of the bun.

    10

    Serve hot, accompanied by fries or coleslaw.
