I Smoked a 2LB'er with Cheese " Party Burger and a Big Bun "
I know there have been big burgers on here before ,
gmc2003
did a great one back in June, and I have seen some others. But here is mine anyways.
Went to store to pick up a round loaf of bread , but they were all ready sliced . So back home and made a big hamburger bun.
Mixed up ingredients, let rise for an hour, knocked it down , put into a 9" greased pan. Let rise for another hour. Baked in the oven for 35 minutes at 360 deg.
While that was cooking I mixed up 2 pounds of ground beef, added diced onions, paprika, Lawry's seasoning salt, pepper, soya sauce and 1 egg.
Mix all really well. finished at was about 12" across. Placed it on a wire rack and than another rack on top to help it stay the same size and not curl
as it will be in smoker and I can't watch it. Cook up 1/2 pound of bacon while the bread is baking.
In smoker for about 25 minutes at 325 deg. with mesquite chunk. The burger did not change at all , so removed the top rack.
Removed from smoker and onto the grill that is at about 375 - 400 deg.
Flip a couple times . Add onion BBQ sauce , toast the bun and add cheese to burger
Let this melt a little and than time to build the burger.
So the bun is toasted , lots of mayo on both cut sides of the bun. Add lettuce, burger with the cheese, 1/2 pound of bacon, sliced red onions,
sliced plum tomatoes, nice squirt of mustard, and a few dollops of sweet relish. Put the top on and cut out a piece for me.
Well that was fun. Now I am full . I had a couple pieces , Had to stop , guess that's for snack for later. Mona did not want burger so I made her Donairs
again .
Thanks if you made it this far . Everyone have a great day. What I should have done was taken a picture of me holding it to show really how big it was . lol
