Method

Prepare the SMOAK'd Sauce

  1. 1

    Make the sauce

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Set aside.

Cook the Burger Patties

  1. 2

    Form the patties

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 3

    Cook the patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and place a slice of sharp American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 4

    Layer the ingredients

    Toast the burger buns if desired. On the bottom half of each bun, spread a generous amount of SMOAK'd sauce. Place one beef patty with melted cheese on each bun, followed by shredded lettuce and sliced onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
