These Classic Burgers are bursting with flavor thanks to ground beef and a smoky seasoning blend. Perfect for festive gatherings, they ensure everyone enjoys a delicious meal that’s easy to prepare and packed with irresistible taste!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated garlic
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 8 hamburger buns
  • lettuce, tomato, red onion for serving
  • favorite condiments

Instructions

  1. Prepare a grill fire to about 300° using hickory or oak wood for smoke.
  2. Combine brown sugar, granulated garlic, smoked paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, and dry mustard to make a steak rub.
  3. Mix the seasoning blend into the ground beef and form the mixture into 8 patties, ensuring a slight indentation in the center of each one.
  4. Place the patties on indirect heat and cover the grill. Cook for 5 minutes, then flip the burgers and continue cooking until they reach an internal temperature of 165°.
  5. Remove the burgers from the grill and serve them on buns with lettuce, tomato, onion, and your favorite condiments.
