Toppings
Directions
Burger Patties
Preheat smoker. Set Smoker to 230°F.
Place the ground beef in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the Burnt Canoe, Worcestershire sauce, eggs and Dijon. Add to the beef and, using your hands, mix the beef and egg mixture well. Be careful not to overmix or the burgers will be tough. Form into 6 balls, the size of a tennis ball. Ensure that all are an equal size. Then form into patties, about ¾” thick. Place on the smoker. It will take about 1 ¾ hours to smoke the patties. Turn the patties half way through. About 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time, top each patty with a slice of swiss cheese. The beef is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Spicy Chili Mayo
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce and hot sauce. Taste and adjust the heat level of the sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Assembly
To serve, smear the toasted side of the bottom bun with Boursin Cheese. Top with an onion slice and then the smoked patty. Top with a tomato, cooked bacon, and lettuce. Smear the toasted side of the top bun with the Spicy Chili Mayo and place on top of the lettuce. Enjoy!
