Big Smokey Burgers

I created this big smokey burger while trying to recreate the best burger I had ever tasted at a restaurant in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. My family and I think these burgers are better. They are packed with flavor!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef sirloin
  • ½ onion, grated
  • 1 tablespoon grill seasoning
