- [Voiceover] Welcome to BBQPitBoys.com,
today we're gonna be cooking up some
50/50 beef and bacon burgers at the pit
and they're easy to do.
All right you're gonna need some bacon for this recipe.
And here we've some ground sirloin,
and use a good cut of beef for your ground beef.
Now what we're gonna do is combine the two.
Now take a look at this bacon,
it's about 50% smoked and that's real easy to do.
You can check out some of our recipes.
But you wanna take your cleavers
or take one of them fancy ass electric meat choppers
whatever you got and you chop it up good just like that.
(chopping)
You mince it real small and this will help
blend everything together as you will see.
Now if you've never had a 50/50 beef and bacon burger before
you definitely gotta check it out.
(growls)
This is some real good eatin' at the pit
and you've heard us say that before.
Definitely gotta check it out.
All right here you wanna combine the ground sirloin to it.
Just work it in together,
it won't take long.
And like I said it's real easy to do.
Just whack it!
Mmm.
All right, now out of this we're gonna form
about four well maybe three quarter pound burgers.
Maybe a little bit more or less all right.
You make 'em the size you want
but this works pretty good.
And you pack 'em and form 'em pretty tight,
just like that.
You've seen us do that before right?
(chuckles)
All right this is for the newbies.
(slapping)
All right now you wanna season
and we're using our SPG.
You can use some salt and pepper,
use your favorite seasoning.
And we're just gonna add a layer of flavor
to the outside of this.
Now, we didn't incorporate the seasoning into the mix,
because the bacon is plenty salty enough
and a lot of flavor.
Now, what we're gonna do is place these on the grill
indirect opposite the hot coals.
We're doing that because we do not want
these burgers to fall apart.
And this is the best way,
especially a 50/50 burger like this, right?
So opposite the hot coals,
we're running a temperature of about 300 degrees Fahrenheit,
maybe 350 in that range.
Put the cover on and we'll check 'em in a few minutes.
All right as you can see the burger is tightening up,
it's come together.
And now we're gonna flip it.
Oh, ho, ho, ho, man.
Are you gettin' hungry or what?
(chuckles) (metal scraping)
All you need is some bacon and some beef, mmm.
Now we flipped it and we're gonna season the other side.
Again, we're using some SPG,
that's salt, pepper, coarse garlic, some other flavorings.
You use what you want.
Now we're gonna cut up some condiments.
(growls)
How about some tomatoes,
maybe some onion?
Hey about some pickles?
That's your choice pit master privilege.
And through the miracle of time,
these burgers are just about done.
But we're gonna add some cheese, mmm.
Use your favorite cheese or don't use any at all.
(lid clanking)
All right.
Now these are packaged rolls so we're just gonna
freshen them up a bit just a bit, right?
I say it's time to eat.
Is it toasted just right?
Oh, baby.
There's nothing more to say is there?
Right after this vid,
better get yourself down to that grocery store.
You're gonna need to unless you one of them vegematics,
and that's another story, right?
Oh, man.
Now, here we're gonna use some mayo.
Like I said, you dress 'em the way you like.
(knife clanking)
Now we have some of these Georgia Vidalia sweet onions,
sweet as an apple.
So the thicker the slice the better.
Probably should speed up this video, right?
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Now we've got some fresh tomatoes.
Now you gonna have some food police come in here
say we should stack the tomato first, then to onion.
(chuckles)
Ah, the food cops never stop.
Here we'll throw on some nice sliced pickle.
And as always,
we do apologize for eating in front of you like this,
but (chuckles) we call this pit master privilege.
Now let me slice one of these 50/50 burgers in half
so you can talk a look inside.
Whoa!
Yeah, can you smell that?
It smells good!
Oh man.
A burger can that save Mickey D's.
