  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

Smoking Ingredients

  • Wood for smoking (such as hickory or mesquite)

Burger

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 3 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3 hamburger buns, toasted

Burger Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon A.1. Steak sauce

Optional Burger Toppings

  • Lettuce
  • Tomato slices
  • Onion slices
  • Pickles

Instructions

  1. Preheat Smoker: Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) and add wood chips appropriate for smoking to infuse the burgers with a rich smoky flavor.
  2. Prepare Patties: Divide the ground beef into three equal portions. Press each portion firmly with a flat plate or by hand to shape into patties. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper to enhance the meat’s natural flavor.
  3. Mix Burger Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and A.1. Steak sauce. Stir until smooth and well blended. This tangy sauce will complement the smoky burgers perfectly.
  4. Smoke the Burgers: Place the raw patties directly on the smoker grate. Smoke the burgers for about 45 minutes, or until they reach your desired internal temperature: 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for well-done. In the last five minutes of cooking, place a slice of sharp cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Remove the cheeseburgers from the smoker. Place each burger on a toasted hamburger bun. Add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles, then spread the prepared burger sauce on the buns. Serve immediately to enjoy the full smoky flavor and juicy texture.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure desired doneness for food safety and perfect results.
  • Choose wood chips that complement beef, like hickory, oak, or mesquite, for the best smoke flavor.
  • For juicier burgers, avoid pressing down the patties while smoking.
  • Toasting buns adds texture and prevents sogginess from the sauce and toppings.
  • You can customize burger toppings based on personal preference.
