Instructions

  1. Start by grinding your own burger. We are using tri-tip steak, but any beef should work just fine.
  2. Slice up the tri-tip and, using the LEM #8 Big Bite Grinder, grind up your beef with a coarse grind plate.
  3. Season the meat with Kosmos The Best Rub.
  4. Run the beef through the grinder for a second time using the fine grind plate and add more seasoning.
  5. Begin making the burger patties. The key is to make 2 flat patties and put them together with the cheese in the middle.
  6. The most important step when filling the patties with cheese is getting the cheese to stay inside the patty. Put about 1-1 ½ slices of cheese per patty and ensure you get a good seal around the patty to keep the cheese from seeping out.
  7. Slice up 1-2 onions and throw them on the Blackstone at Medium-High heat with butter, oil, and top with Kosmos SPG seasoning and let them caramelize.
  8. Crank up your Blackstone to high heat, throw the burgers on the griddle, and top with a little bit of seasoning.
  9. Let the burgers sit for a few minutes on the grill, flip and repeat, before doming them with a basting cover. Add a bit of water to the grill and cover again to help steam the burgers and melt the cheese.
  10. Give your burgers one more flip and toast your buns with a little butter.
  11. Top with more cheese because you can never have too much cheese on a burger.
  12. Once the cheese is melted, burgers are cooked, buns are toasted, and the onions are caramelized, it is time to take them off the grill, go inside, and build your burgers.
