Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
- steak seasoning
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 8 hamburger buns brioche
- 8 slices bacon
- 4 whole pineapple rings
- 4 whole babybell cheese
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
Toppings (my suggestions):
- Lettuce
- Sliced tomatoes
- Sliced dill pickles
- Grilled bacon
- Sliced onions
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Mayonnaise
- Avocado
- Red pepper
- Cheese
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl mix together the ground beef. Be sure to work the meat delicately. Once mixed together form 1 inch thick patties around 4 inches in diameter. Season to taste with steak seasonings then place a thumb hole in the center of the pattie, around 3/4 of the way through. Set on a wire rack over an ice tray.
- Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty, then add a pineapple ring, and a baby bell cheese in the middle of the pineapple. Then wrap the burger with two pieces of bacon
- For smoking on a gas grill: Set up your grill for direct grilling and preheat too 300°F. Then add the wood chips to a smoke box. Close the lid and once the box is smoking. Smoke the burgers until the internal temperature is at least 155°F.
- If you're using a smoker: Heat your smoker, to 300°F. Then place your burgers in the smoker and leave then for 35 minutes or once the internal temperature of the burgers reaches 155°F
- Slice your buns, brush with melted butter and grill for 30 seconds to get a good char.
- When you remove the burgers, glaze them with a BBQ sauce
- Starting at the bottom but stack on your favorite ingredients. I like to use BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato, red onion, avocado (in that order).
