Burger dog on the griddle
Let's have some fun with burger night. The Kitchen Bucket List gives you a fun way to enjoy your burgers.
Equipment
- Outdoor griddle (Inside on a griddle or skillet)
- Large spatula
- Long handle tongs
- Paper towels
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds ground beef
Burger Dog Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon Paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions
Prep the griddle
- Get your outdoor griddle equipment ready like oil, paper towels, spatula, tongs, and scraper.
- Preheat the griddle on low.
- Once the griddle is preheated, close 1 or 2 side burners to make a holding area.
Prepare the burger dog patties
- In a small bowl add the seasoning mixture of salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Paprika, and ground pepper. Mix well.
- If you are going to grill the hot dog buns, butter them inside and out. Set aside.
- Make 4 rectangular burger dog patties (6 oz. each). Use the buns as a template to shape the patties. Remember you will slightly smash them once on the griddle.
- Place back in the refrigerator, if not cooking right away
Cooking time
- Place the hot dog buns on the griddle to brown to your liking, around 1 minute per side.
- Place the grilled buns on the side holding area or a plate.
- Increase the temperature of the griddle to medium, depending on your model it should be between 350 - 400 degrees F.
- Sprinkle the top side of the burger dog patties with seasoning and place the seasoned side down on the griddle to cook first. Sprinkle the other side with the burger dog seasoning.
- Slightly smash each patty and cook for 1 - 2 minutes on each side.See note below.
- Going for a cheeseburger dog, add the cheese once you flip the patty.
Serving time
- Add your grilled burger dog patties to the buns and add your favorite condiments.
- Enjoy with some air fryer waffle fries.
Notes
- Make your burger dogs even more flavorful by using ground chuck or even ground prime rib.
- Knowing when to flip the burger dog patty is easy. For this recipe, it is between 1 - 2 minutes on each side. A great way to check if it is time to flip is when the color of the patty changes. Once it is halfway up, time to flip. Remember that time as a guide to know when the other side is done. For beef patties, our preferred doneness is medium (135 – 145 degrees F.). If this is not your preferred doneness simply cook a bit longer.
