BBQ Bacon Cheese Loaf Burgers

How about some big Texas sized BBQ Bacon Cheeseburgers? These are a family favorite. They're made like a meat loaf, smoked then cut up into big burgers and served on Texas toast. This particular flavor combo of ingredients works really well with ground Beef or Turkey :).

Spread the ground meat (1/2 lb per burger) out into about a 1" thick loaf on a cookie sheet(s). Season the meat how you like and/or sprinkle on some rub.

Spread on some BBQ sauce (we used homemade sauce), add a layer of Muenster or Monty Jack cheese, thin sliced onion strips, roasted red pepper, thick cut bacon strips (cut in half) and sprinkle on some parsley flakes or a little more rub.

This cook was a perfect chance to try out my new Hasty-Bake Small Grill Extender. A Hickory Pellet pouch was put in place, then we loaded up the grill with some Armadillo Egg Poppers made from red bell peppers & jalapenos. The Grill Extender & Burger loaves were added. The grill extender worked perfectly - worth every penny!

Hot smoke them at 325°-350° for about an hour or until the burgers are medium well to well done (155°-165°) and the bacon is starting to crisp. Don't overcook; they'll dry out!


Cut the meat loaf into big burgers and serve 'em up on some Texas Toast along with your favorite sides.

Last night I made my husband look at all the entries with me. He had two comments -- why don't we have any of those coozies (Rips entry ) and BBQ Bacon Cheese Loaf Burgers - you need to do some of those.
