Ranch-Bourbon-Smoked-Burger

 

Smoked Burger

I recently got a smoker grill. Now that I am in Florida, I can grill all year round. With this smoker grill, I make myself a Smoked Burger on it all the time. How do you smoke a burger you may be asking? It is actually simple!

  • Prepare your smoker
  •  225°F for about 60-90 minutes depending on how you like your burger.

What if you do not have a smoker for your grill? Adding wood chips to a chargrill burning grill will help add that smokey flavor to a burger!

Ranch Burger

This year, I wanted to play with a Ranch Burger. I personally like ranch dressing, it is good on a beef burger recipe. However, I wanted the ranch flavor to be inside the meat.

So adding a little of the dry ranch dressing to the beef burger recipe really added that ranch flavor I wanted. This Ranch Burger is a perfect addition to my collection of tasty burgers recipes!

 

Ranch-Bourbon-Smoked-Burger-2

 

Bourbon Burger

If this is a Ranch Burger, then how is it a  Bourbon Burger? That is easy to answer it is because of the bourbon glaze recipe I brushed on the homemade burger as it was smoking on my grill! Bourbon and ranch make a great combo in a beef burger recipe!

 

Ranch-Bourbon-Smoked-Burger-3

 

Beef Burger Recipe

Even though this beef burger recipe has both ranch and bourbon in it, It still needed that final touches. So to assemble this tasty burger, I used Cabot cheddar cheese, french fried onions, and bacon jam. I admit I got my inspiration from some Smokehouse burgers I have seen!
