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

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)
Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:
• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds
Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.
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.
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.
