Ingredients
- 1½ pounds ground beef or ground chuck or ground sirloin
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 6 burger buns
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, bacon, etc.
Burger Sauce (Combine ingredients below)
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon pickle juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped pickles
Instructions
- Preheat your electric smoker to 225°F. If your smoker has a water pan, fill it with 1 cup of water, beer, or beef broth.
- Combine Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the ground beef and use your hands to combine it.
- Divide the beef mixture into six equal portions, and form each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Each patty will weigh approximately ¼ pound.
- Place the burgers directly on the grill grates or a grilling tray, leaving some space between them. Shut the door and smoke the burgers for 60-90 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 155°F. Brush the burgers with BBQ sauce, flip them over, brush with BBQ sauce again, and add a slice of cheese on top. Smoke for 10 more minutes until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature of the burgers in the thickest part is 160°F.
- Serve the burgers with toasted buns, burger sauce, and your favorite toppings and condiments.
Notes
- The nutritional information does not include the burger buns, toppings, or condiments.
- Experiment with different wood chips or combine them to create a unique smoke flavor.
- Soak wood chips for at least 30 minutes before using. (I soak them while the smoker is preheating).
- Reverse-sear the burgers in a cast iron skillet after smoking for an extra crispy exterior.
