cheese

🥗Healthier: avocado

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Avocado adds creaminess and healthy fats.

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole wheat buns

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole wheat buns provide more fiber.

Prepare the burger sauce by mixing 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 heaping teaspoon minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. Stir and refrigerate until serving.

Use a 4.5-inch baking ring to shape the burger patties. Place parchment paper underneath.

Tear the ground beef and lay it into the ring, packing it down gently to avoid overworking the meat.

Shape the patties to be between 1/3 to 1/2 lb each, then remove the ring and pat down the edges.

Season the patties lightly with salt and pepper.

Preheat the Lone Star Grillz Pellet Smoker to 275°F.

Place the burger patties on the smoker once it's fully preheated, close the lid, and cook for 30 to 60 minutes to desired doneness.

Add cheese on top of the patties once they are done to your liking.

Toast the burger buns on the grill.

Assemble the burger starting with burger sauce on the bottom bun, followed by lettuce, the burger patty, and toppings like onion, tomato, pickles, and more burger sauce.
