    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 450℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

    450 ˚F / 232 ˚C

  • 2

    In a medium bowl, combine ground chuck, Parmesan cheese, and Traeger Beef Rub. Wet your hands with cold water and mix gently to combine.

    Ingredients
    • 2 Pound 80/20 ground chuck

    • 1 Cup grated Parmesan cheese

    • 2 Teaspoon Traeger Beef Rub

  • 3

    Divide the meat into 4 equal portions. With wet hands, shape each portion of beef into a patty about 4 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick. Do not overwork the meat. Using your thumbs, make a wide, shallow depression on the top of each burger.

    In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and Traeger 'Que BBQ Sauce. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

    Arrange the burgers directly on the grill grates, depression-side down. Insert the probe horizontally into the center of a burger. Cook, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F, or your desired temperature, 8-10 minutes per side.
