Instructions

Prevent your screen from going dark as you follow along.

Step 1

Get your Gozney Roccbox temperature up to 350°C/660°F using gas or wood. Cook up roughly 4 slices of bacon in a skillet pan in the Roccbox. Keep the grease in the pan and remove the bacon.

Step 2

Divide your ground beef into 4 x 4oz beef patties.

Step 3

Place the skillet back in the oven and add in your beef patties. Using a sheet of wax paper and a paper plate or a baking sheet covered with cold water firmly pressed down on your beef patties until evenly flat. Repeat the steps until all patties are formed.

Step 4

Top your patties with beef rub. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for roughly 2-3 minutes per side or until the internal desired temperature is reached.

Step 5

Top the beef patties with your favorite kind of cheese. Rasheed’s tip: Coat the outside with a little bit of butter and some leftover bacon fat to achieve that crunchy flavorful exterior.

Step 6

Toast your brioche buns in the oven. Next up it's time to build your burger. Add your mushrooms to the bun.

Step 7

Top with sliced tomato and onions. You can caramelize or pickle your onions if you prefer.

Step 8

Add your beef patty and bacon. Cut on the diagonal and enjoy.
