Instructions

1. 01

   Divide the ground beef into two portions. Use a ramekin or small bowl to form the bottom layer of the patty, pressing it evenly to create a base with slightly raised edges. Tear up 2 slices of Colby Jack cheese and place them in the center of the bottom layer. Add the remaining beef on top and seal the edges tightly to form a thick stuffed patty.

2. 02

   Season both sides generously with Smokey Texan seasoning, ensuring full coverage for bold flavor.

3. 03

   Prepare your Char-Griller grill with Char-Griller Natural Lump Charcoal and set up for high indirect heat (400–450°F).

4. 04

   Place the stuffed burger on the indirect side of the grill. Cook for a total of 1 hour, flipping once at the 30-minute mark.

5. 05

   At the 45-minute mark, brush the burger with raspberry chipotle sauce. Let it cook for the final 15 minutes so the glaze sets and caramelizes into the patty.

6. 06

   Add the final slice of Colby Jack cheese on top of the burger and allow it to melt. Lightly toast the bun on the grill.

7. 07

   Place the burger on the bun and top with lettuce, onion, and pickle. Serve hot and enjoy that sweet heat finish.
