Ingredients
- 1 lb 80/20 ground beef
- 1 lb chorizo
- 1/4 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
Cattleman’s Grill 8 Second Ride Carne Asada Seasoning
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 (12 oz) Modelo (or other Mexican) beer
- 2 Anaheim pepper, stemmed, seeded, sliced
- 1 jalapeño, stemmed, seeded, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup manchego cheese, grated
- 4 ciabatta buns
Holmes Made Marty’s Green Chile Salsa
- guacamole
- iceberg lettuce, shredded
Directions
- Heat a Lodge 12” cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and poblanos to the pan, along with the beer. Season with Cattleman’s Grill 8 Second Ride Carne Asada Seasoning. Simmer until the onions and peppers are just softened (not too soft), about 8-10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings, as needed.
- Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640 pellet grill to 275°F. Mix together the beef, chorizo and cotija. Form the meat into (1/2 lb) balls. Press a beer can into the center of the ball and form a sort of bowl around the bottom of the can. Remove the can from the meat. Season the beef with Cattleman’s Grill 8 Second Ride Carne Asada Seasoning and salt. Wrap side walls of the bowl with the slices of bacon.
- Add the fillings to the inside of the “bowl.” Top with the grated manchego.
- Smoke the burger until the internal temperature reaches 140°F, about 1 hour. Turn the temperature up to 500°F and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. While the burger smokes you can toast your ciabatta buns. Serve the burger dressed with the guacamole, Holmes Made Marty’s Green Chile Salsa and lettuce.
