Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ lb fresh pork sausage
- 1 (2.8-oz) can french fried onions
- ¾ cup cooked chopped bacon
- 3 Tbsp BBQ sauce
- 1 (1-oz) package ranch dressing mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices American cheese
- 6 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Prepare the Burger Mix: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, fresh pork sausage, french fried onions, cooked chopped bacon, BBQ sauce, ranch dressing mix, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Use a kitchen scale to divide the mixture into six equal portions and shape each into a patty.
- Grill the Burgers: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the prepared patties on the grill and cook until they reach your desired level of doneness, typically about 4-5 minutes per side. Shortly before removing from the grill, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and allow it to melt, cooking for an additional minute.
- Assemble and Serve: Remove the patties from the grill and place each on a hamburger bun. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the smoky, savory flavors of the Smokehouse Burgers.
Notes
- For juicier burgers, avoid pressing down on the patties while grilling.
- You can substitute the BBQ sauce with your favorite brand or variety for different flavor profiles.
- Feel free to add toppings such as lettuce, tomato, or pickles according to preference.
- To ensure even cooking, let the patties rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before grilling.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for a safe internal temperature of 160°F for ground beef and pork mixtures.
