Hey Baby, Its the 4th of July. Smokehauz Cheese Ultimate Burger Recipe

Smokehauz Smoked Cheese and our hand crafted smoked seasonings make for the perfect summer cookout burger

• 2 pounds ground chuck 80/20 blend; Add 1/4 cup bacon crumbles for extra zip
• ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon Smokehauz Smoked salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smokehauz Smoked Black Pepper

Instructions:

1. Combine the base: Add the ground beef, bacon ends, crushed crackers, egg, Worcestershire sauce, milk, and all spices into a large mixing bowl.
2. Mix gently: Incorporate the ingredients by hand just until the mixture looks even. Do not overmix!!! I Repeat- DO NOT OVERMIX!!!!
3. Shape the patties: Divide the meat into 6 equal portions. Shape them slightly larger than your burger buns to account for shrinkage during cooking.
4. Make a dimple: Use a spoon or your thumb to press a shallow dent into the center of each patty. Super Important Step here!
   
   No BBQ would be complete without throwing some of your favorite Smokehauz Smoked Cheese a couple of minutes prior to finish. We would recommend the Smokehauz Smoked Havarti, Smoked Pepper Jack, or Smoked Jalapeno Havarti.
