Steps

  • 1

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 325˚F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

    325 ˚F / 163 ˚C

  • 2

    In a medium bowl, mix the ground beef with Traeger Prime Rib Rub, as desired.

  • 3

    Make the stuffed burgers. Divide the ground beef into eight 1/4 lb. patties. Make one patty on the base, lay down 1/4 of a cheese slice, add 3 oz. of chorizo, and top with another 1/4 cheese slice. Apply another patty on top and pinch the ends all the way around the burger to seal together the two patties. Repeat until all 4 patties are done.

  • 4

    Place the burgers directly on the grill grates, close the lid and cook for 15 minutes on each side. If desired, top each burger with a slice of cheddar cheese, let melt.
