Everyone has heard of Beer Can Chicken, but what about a Beer Can Burger? It's a new method of cooking bliss magic.
Basically, 1/2 pound of hamburger meat in a ball gets wrapped around a beer can, meat gets wrapped with Bacon, then can is removed and you can stuff the can void with what ever you want.
I had left-overs of 8 hours slow smoked pulled pork from a couple nights before, so that was the main stuffing.
For the Beer Can Burger, I used very Lean 90/10 beef (lightly seasoned) , then 6 pieces bacon wrap, filled with pulled pork and sautéed mushrooms and onion stuffing, layered in, crumbled blue cheese bits, provolone cheese topped..........then a 1/2 hour indirect heat smoke on the BBQ with mesquite wood.
pictures tell the story better :
Pulled Pork Leftovers: I used a bread loaf pan, it creates and retains lots of juices in pan over the 8 hour smoke of a pork butt.
then for the Beer Can Burger, get a 1/2 pound ball of seasoned lean ground beef, and using saran-wrapped can, smunch can into and mold the meat around.
wrap in bacon, 3 rows high. fill crater in beef with stuffing of choice, (mine was onions mushrooms, blue cheese crumbles, provolone cheeze topped, then burger slow cooked ~30-40 minutes over indirect heat..........serious decadent yummy meal.
life is short, eat and drink well.......
