I created this big smokey burger while trying to recreate the best burger I had ever tasted at a restaurant in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. My family and I think these burgers are better. They are packed with flavor!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef sirloin

  • ½ onion, grated

  • 1 tablespoon grill seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring

  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic

  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers

  • 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, chopped

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 6 (1 ounce) slices sharp Cheddar cheese (Optional)

  • 6 hamburger buns

Directions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.

  2. Combine ground sirloin, onion, grill seasoning, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, adobo sauce, and chipotle pepper in a large bowl. Form the mixture into 6 patties. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Place burgers on preheated grill and cook until no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Place a slice of Cheddar cheese on top of each burger one minute before they are ready.

  4. Place burgers on buns to serve.
