# Ingredients:
→ Stuffed Burgers
01 -
2 lbs 85/15 ground beef
02 -
2 jalapeños, diced
03 -
1/4 sweet onion, diced
04 -
1/2 lb cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
05 -
Burger seasoning, to taste
06 -
4 brioche buns
07 -
American cheese slices
08 -
Spicy mayo
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat smoker or pellet grill to 250°F.
02 -
In a large bowl, mix ground beef, diced jalapeños, diced onion, and cubed cheddar cheese until evenly combined. Optionally, add more burger seasoning.
03 -
Divide the mixture into four portions and shape into 1/2-pound patties. Season both sides generously with burger seasoning.
04 -
Place the patties directly on the smoker and cook at 250°F until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
05 -
In the last few minutes of cooking, top each burger with a slice of American cheese and allow it to melt.
06 -
Toast brioche buns. Spread spicy mayo on both sides, then assemble the burgers and serve immediately.
# Tips:
01 -
Cutting the cheddar into small cubes ensures gooey pockets of cheese throughout the patty.
02 -
Mix the beef gently to avoid compressing proteins and losing moisture.
03 -
Smoking at 250°F allows the cheese to melt without burning the burger exterior.
