  When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 500℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.

  While the Traeger heats up, combine ground chuck, cheese and Traeger Beef Rub in a medium bowl. Wet your hands with cold water and mix gently.

• 3

  Divide the meat into 4 equal portions. With wet hands, shape each portion of beef into a patty about 5” in diameter and ½" thick. Do not overwork the meat. Using your thumbs, make a wide, shallow depression on the top of each burger.

• 4

  Combine mayonnaise and Traeger 'Que BBQ Sauce in a shallow bowl and refrigerate until serving time.

• 5

  Brush the cut sides of the kaiser rolls with melted butter.

• 6

  Arrange the burgers directly on the grill grate, depression-side down. Cook for 8 minutes, then flip. Cook for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until an instant-read meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 160℉.
