How to
- Preheat your smoker using beachwood chips to generate smoke and set it to a temperature of 130°C or 265°F.
- Chop the jalapeno peppers, cube the cheddar cheese, and slice the chuck beef into fine pieces.
- Grind the chuck beef, followed by the cheddar cheese, and then the jalapeno peppers to create a meat mixture.
- Combine the ground beef, cheese, and jalapenos together until well mixed, forming a meat dough.
- Shape the meat mixture into large burger patties, making three big patties.
- Season the burger patties generously with PitmasterX Texas BBQ seasoning, ensuring each patty is well coated.
- Place the seasoned burger patties in the preheated smoker and let them smoke until cooked to your desired level of doneness, adding more beachwood chips for continuous smoke infusion.
- While the burgers are smoking, prepare the mopping sauce by mixing together 1 part ketchup, 3 parts apple cider vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Adjust the ratio to your taste preference.
- As the burgers near completion, periodically spritz them with the mop sauce to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Once the burgers are almost done, top each with a couple of slices of American cheese and allow them to melt over the patties.
- Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill for added flavor and texture.
- Assemble the burgers by placing the smoked jalapeno cheddar patties on the toasted buns and drizzling them with the homemade mopping sauce.
- Serve hot and enjoy the juicy, flavorful, and smoky goodness of these epic smoked jalapeno cheddar burgers!
