Ingredients

Honey BBQ Sauce

  • 1 cup ketchup
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat grill. Set your grill to medium-high heat for two-zone cooking.
  • Prepare meats. First, form your ground beef into roughly ⅓ pound patties, and season with some of my Signature Beef Rub. Next, slice your bacon in half with a sharp knife and sprinkle with my Sweet Rub (or you can make your own following this recipe). Finally, slice your hotdogs in half lengthwise, but don’t cut all the way through.

  • Make Honey BBQ Sauce. Combine all ingredients for your sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

  • Grill meats. While your sauce is simmering, place your burgers and hotdogs on the direct heat side of your grill, and your bacon over the indirect heat side. Give your burgers 5-7 minutes per side, flipping as little as possible. Give your bacon around the same time over the indirect heat, flipping occasionally for an even cook. Cook your hotdogs alongside your patties over direct heat, giving them 3-5 minutes per side.
  • Remove sauce and toast buns. Place your buns face side down on the direct heat of your grill and toast. Remove your sauce from the heat, spoon some onto your patties, then top with cheese. Close the lid for 1-2 minutes, giving time for your buns to toast and cheese to melt.

  • Assemble burgers. Pull everything, and place your cheesy patties on your toasted buns. Next, add 4 slices of your halved bacon, then top with a sliced hotdog. Drizzle with even more of your sauce, add your toppings, and devour these delicious burgers.
