Instructions

Prepare a grill for cooking at about 300°F using hickory or oak for smoke flavor.
In a bowl, combine brown sugar, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and dry mustard to create a steak rub.
Mix the seasoning blend into the ground beef and form into 8 patties, making an indentation in the center of each one.
Place the patties over indirect heat on the grill, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes.
Flip the burgers and continue grilling until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the burgers from the grill and assemble on buns with lettuce, tomato, onion, and any condiments desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the beef mixture marinate with the spices for an hour before forming patties.
Use fresh vegetables for toppings to enhance the taste of your burger. Enjoy with a side of fries or salad.
