Steps

  • 1

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

    450 ˚F / 232 ˚C

    00:15

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 4

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

  • 5

    Brush the cut sides of the Kaiser rolls with the melted butter.

  • 6

    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.

    450 ˚F / 232 ˚C

    Meanwhile, place rolls cut-side down on the grill and cook until lightly browned, 2-4 minutes.

    Remove the rolls from the grill and spread the cut sides with the BBQ-mayonnaise sauce. Place a burger patty on each roll bottom, then top with lettuce, onion, tomato, and pickles. Finish with the top of the rolls. Enjoy!
