Cooking for 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lb ground beef (preferably an 80/20 blend)
  • 4 hot dogs (ends removed and cut into ¾-inch sections)
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • salt and pepper to taste

Toppings

  • mustard
  • ketchup
  • other favorite hot dog and hamburger toppings

1 Food Prep

  • Form the ground beef into 4 patties and place patties on a large plate. With your finger, make 5–6 indentations into each patty, and insert a hot dog section into each one.

2 Grill Prep

Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets.

Method: Direct-Heat Grilling

Temp: 400° (Medium Heat)

3 The Cook

  • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
  • Place the patties on the grill and sear for approximately 5–6 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F on a digital meat thermometer. Remove the hot-dog-studded burger patties from the grill.
  • To toast your buns, open them and place them face down on the grill, directly over the coals. Watch your buns closely — they burn fast. Toasting takes anywhere from a few seconds to a minute, depending on how hot your coals are.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite condiments and toppings.
