Smoked Burger with Spicy Chili Mayo
My son Ben and I created this sensational burger for Super Bowl 56. The patty is smoked low and slow on the smoker to keep the burger patty juicy and reduce any shrinkage during cooking. You can also grill these burgers on the BBQ if you wish. The burger is finished with two cheeses and a zesty chili mayo. That’s what we call ‘towering perfection’!
*Burnt Canoe Steak spice is available at www.beakitchenhero.com.
Makes 6 burgers
2 pounds ground beef (ideally an 80/20 mix (80% beef/20% fat) – you will need to ask your butcher to do this for you, otherwise use regular or lean ground beef)
