Description

These Classic Burgers are packed with flavor and made with simple ingredients like ground beef, spices, and fresh toppings. They are perfect for gatherings, quick weeknight meals, or a satisfying barbecue.


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, plus your favorite condiments

Instructions

  1. Prepare a grill fire to about 300° F using hickory or oak wood for smoke.
  2. Mix the steak rub by combining brown sugar, granulated garlic, smoked paprika, kosher salt, coarse ground black pepper, and dry mustard.
  3. Incorporate the seasonings into the ground beef and form into 8 patties, ensuring there’s an indentation in the middle of each.
  4. Place the patties over indirect heat on the grill. Close the lid and cook for 5 minutes.
  5. Flip the burgers and continue cooking until they reach an internal temperature of 165° F.
  6. Remove the burgers from the grill and serve on hamburger buns topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, and your favorite condiments.

Notes

For added flavor, try using different types of wood chips in the grill.
Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking for juicier burgers.
Feel free to customize toppings based on personal preference.
