Smokehouse Better than just Bacon Cheeseburger

[jcam222]

I needed to create a burger to enter in a contest for the foodie groups July 2022 calendar pic. Here it is the “Smokehouse Better than just Bacon Cheeseburger”. An 11 oz 80/20 Black Angus sirloin burger ,smoked cheddar, 1/4” succulent smoked pork belly strips , smoked Gouda, bacon wrapped Vidalia onion slice and fried jalapeños. Threw in a little peppery arugula and a tasty habanero bbq aioli. Belly was a small piece of Berkshire belly rubbed with my keto sweet heat rub. Burgers were seasoned with a store bought rub I really like. All smoked in the Lang today with cherry wood. The belly was luscious tender at 205F The burgers were basically one giant smoke ring lol red on the outside and into the burger a good quarter inch

Dang Jeff, that’s a work of art and looks absolutely delicious! Great job. No topping that burger in my opinion.

Have to do the Guy Fieri “hunch” to get a bite, but it’d be worth it!

Bacon wrapped anything is good.
I recently had a bacon added Reubon sandwich.

That is something else wow, nice work. The pictures are like out of a food magazine.

Does using keto rub cancel the carbs? Never even knew rubs had carbs, Haha love it.

Yea man many rubs are packed with some form of sugar. I use sugar subs in all of mine. The keto heat is one Ive worked on for years now and love. Have a local keto store that is evaluating carrying it commercially.

Jim I’m not sure on that. I’ll have to ask. Within the group it’s pretty much a bragging rights thing.

jcam222 ....Gotcha. Well if they sell them I might would be interested.

Looks awesome. Maybe they are just too mundane but I have always wondered why smoked burgers are not posted more often on here. So simple and quick, and even bad quick pics like mine look delicious IMO

I agree that smoked burgers are amazing. I throw a tray in for lunch almost every time I run a longer smoke. Get that nice red color like yours and smokey flavor.
