Traeger Classic Burger

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Ground Beef
  • Traeger Beef Rub 
  • 4 slices Cheese [whatever cheese you prefer!]
  • Buns & Burger Toppings for Serving

Instructions

  1. When ready to cook, place a cast iron griddle on the grill grates. Close the lid and set the Traeger temperature to 450°F. Preheat for 15 minutes.

  2. Divide the ground beef into 4 4-ounce portions and lightly roll into balls. Season with Traeger Beef Rub or salt and pepper.

  3. Grease the griddle with melted butter.

  4. Place the beef balls on the hot griddle and immediately smash down with a spatula until flattened thin, about 1/2 inch thick. Cook until well-browned on the bottoms. Carefully flip the burgers. If you like onion, add sliced onions at this step and cover with cheese slices. Cook until the cheese melts.

  5. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
