(to season patties)

1.5 stick of salted butter (around 3/4 cup)

4 brioche buns (or bun of your choosing)

4 to 8 slices American cheese

1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise

DIRECTIONS

Preheat grill to 350F

Form burger meat into 1/3lb patties, into a concave shape, 4 total or 8 for double burgers

Season one side of the patties with Smoke and tell seasoning 

Let the seasoning “melt” into the patties for about 20min – use this time to melt butter, prep your toppings/anything else you’d like to have on your burger

Melt butter in microwave safe cup.

Be sure to toast the buns on the opposite side which is inside out. (tops and bottoms) on the grill, watch carefully as buns can burn quickly

Baste both sides of buns generously with butter

Set buns aside/cover to keep warm

Set burger patties on the grill – watch patties to see if any are cooking faster than others/adjust heat accordingly (higher or lower)

After 5 minutes, flip patties, and check internal temperature to see how far off you are from 145-150F

About 5 min later, flip again and add slices of American cheese to quickly melt onto patty before you hit your desired IT of 145-150F

Check internal temp, and pull off the grill at 145-150F, set aside

Assemble the burger bottom to top: Bottom bun, mayo on bottom bun, lettuce, tomato,  then place patty cheese side DOWN (or, upside down)

Baste burger patty with butter, continue assembly on top of patty with your choice of toppings then top bun

Serve
