Recipe Information

Ingredients:

SmokingPit.com - Great smoking recipes tips techiques smoker and grilling information. Traeger Texas Pellet Grills.


3 Lbs. 80/20 ground beef
1/2 Lbs. maple sausage
McCormick's Garlic & Onion Medley
Garlic powder
1 Can of Pineapple slices (rings)
2 Granny Smith Apples
3 Tbsp sugar
1 Tsp Cinnamon
Favorite BBQ sauce
4 - 6 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper

 

Preparation:

I have smoked colossal burgers before but this Hawaiian colossal burger is the top of the line! This burger is the Cadillac of burgers!

First thing we will start with is the the burger meat. Prepare the burger patties. Mix the maple sausage and ground beef together thoroughly. Add 2 tbsp McCormick's Garlic & onion Medley and 4 to 6 tbsp of  Worcestershire sauce.  Mix the meat up thoroughly then wrap in plastic and let stand in the refrigerator.

Next we will prepare the BBQ chicken and apples. Inject 4 chicken breasts with diet Cherry Dr. Pepper or non diet. Place the chicken into a 1 gallon Ziploc bag and pour in some Cherry Dr. Pepper and marinate a few hours until the chicken has a nice pink tint to it.

Cut up 2 Granny smith apples. Mix in 3 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. Place apples in a aluminum smoking pan and set aside.

When the Chicken is done marinating apply a light dusting of garlic powder. Apply a generous amount of dry rub to both sides of the chicken. Sprinkle some brown sugar on the top side of the chicken breasts and rub it in. Place the chicken and the pan of apples on to the smoker. Traeger owners give it an hour on the smoke setting. The bring the temperature to 230 degrees and smoke the apples until they are caramelized and the chicken until the internal temperature is 175 degrees. We want to exceed the normal1 165 degree temp because we want tit to pull easily. When the chicken comes out of the smoker let it stand and cool a bit.

Once the chicken has cooled down, cut the breasts in half across the grain of the meat. Using a fork pull and shred the chicken. make sure you get some chunks in there. Put the pulled chicken in a big Ziploc bag and put in the desired amount of BBQ sauce. Close the bag and start massaging the BBQ sauce into the meat. Once the chicken is adequately coated with the sauce place it into an aluminum pie pan and put it back onto the smoker for 30 minutes to get some smoke into the meat and sauce. Remember you want to achieve a thin blue smoke not white smoke. The later will leave a bitter flavor on your meat. Remember to stir the chicken meat at least once. When the chicken has been smoking for 30 minutes stir in the apples and then bring the chicken into the kitchen.

This is a good time to put some bacon on the smoker. While you wait, cut 8 slices of bacon in half and place the slices on to the smoker @ 230 degrees. It's now time to build the colossal burgers.

Take the burger meat out of the refrigerator and  form 6 - 8 patties to your desired diameter. You will see in the pictures to the right I make them big. Lay down the first patty. Lightly sprinkle on some dry rub. Now lay down some Mozzarella cheese followed by a pile of BBQ pulled chicken. Make sure and leave 3/4 inch boarder around the edge. Pour some BBQ sauce over the top of the chicken then top it off with a thin layer of Mozzarella. Lay a second patty on top and pinch the edges sealing the chicken and cheese inside. Repeat the above steps making three more burgers.

Once the burgers are formed, dust them lightly with garlic powder and sprinkle on some dry rub. Using a brush mop on some of the caramelized sugar and cinnamon juice from the apples. Now place them in a smoker pre-heated to 230 degrees. Traeger owners, start on the smoke setting for about 1 1/2 hours then go to 230 degrees. Once the burgers have smoked for 30 minutes mop them with BBQ sauce and take the bacon off the grate and put it on top of the burgers. Smoke the burgers until the internal temperature reaches 165- 170 degrees. When the burgers reach 155 degrees put some pineapple rings on the smoker.

Pull the burgers and pineapple rings when the internal temperature of the burgers reaches 165-170 degrees. 

You have heard the the phrase "Build it and they will come"... It's the real deal. Build these burgers and everyone in your family will be standing with a plate in hand. Start with making the Coleslaw. This is a key part of the many layers of flavor. Put some Coleslaw in a bowl. pour on the desired amount of Coleslaw dressing. Cut up the pineapple smoked earlier and add it to the Coleslaw. pour in 1/4 cup of Pineapple juice and mix thoroughly.

Cutting the Keizer rolls in half. Put on a generous amount of mayonnaise. Pour some BBQ sauce on the bottom bun. Lay on a colossal burger. Lay 3 smoked pineapple rings on top of the burger then drizzle BBQ sauce over them. Add a nice scoop of Coleslaw. Place a bun on top and you now have a Hickory Smoked Colossal Hawaiian burger that is sure to please.
