Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

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

Steps:

  • Assemble ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix using a fork, until this is very well combined.
  • Form into patties approximately 3.5" diameter, 3/4" thick, squaring the edges so that they are not overcooked.
  • Set the patties in the fridge for one hour.
  • Heat BBQ to high , then reduce heat on one side to minimum, the other to half capacity.
  • Dump soaked mesquite chips on hot side of grill, allow them to come to a flame.
  • Place burgers on the grill allowing a sear mark to develop, then rotate 90 degrees for a "thatched" appearance.
  • Close grill hood, and allow burgers to slow cook --
  • Flip the burgers and close the hood again.
  • 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 --
  • Served with sliced refridgerator dill pickles, garden fresh tomato slices, sliced white onion, on a toasted sourdough bun.
