Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs ground beef (80/20) for best juiciness
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika optional
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4-6 pieces burger buns (brioche, potato, or sesame)
  • 4-6 slices cheese (cheddar, American, or Swiss)
  • 1 leaf lettuce optional
  • 1 slice tomato optional
  • 1 slice pickle optional
  • 1 slice onion optional
  • 1 tbsp burger sauce optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Traeger smoker to 225°F using hickory, mesquite, or oak pellets.
  • In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Form into 4-6 patties about ½ to ¾-inch thick.
  • Place the patties directly on the Traeger grates and smoke at 225°F for 60-90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare.
  • Increase the grill temperature to 450°F. Sear the burgers for 1-2 minutes per side. Add cheese during the last minute.
  • Butter the buns and toast them on the grill for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Assemble the burgers with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, and condiments of your choice.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite sides, like fries, coleslaw, or grilled veggies.
