Cookbook:Smokehouse Burgers

Ingredients

 * 1 pound ground chuck
 * 1 tbsp smoked paprika
 * 1 tbsp salt
 * 1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
 * 1 tbsp granulated garlic
 * 4 hamburger buns, split in half and toasted
 * Canola or olive oil
 * 4 slices pepper jack cheese

Procedure

 * 1) Form meat into 4 equal patties, about ¾ inch thick. Make a depression in the center with your thumb and set aside.
 * 2) Brush patties with oil. Sprinkle on both sides with seasonings.
 * 3) Preheat grill. Add patties and cook, turning often, until desired "doneness" is achieved. Remove to a plate, top each with a slice of cheese, and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Let rest until cheese is melted.
 * 4) Brush cut sides of bread with oil. Add a patty onto the bottom half of a bun, then top with the upper half. Repeat with remaining meat and serve immediately.
