Cooking for 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 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
1Food 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.
2Grill Prep
Fuel: We recommend Kingsford™ Original Charcoal Briquets.
Method: Direct-Heat Grilling
Temp: 400° (Medium Heat)
3The 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.
