Make the chili. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and cooked through.
2
Add the chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, sugar, onion powder, garlic, powder, salt, pepper, cayenne, beef stock, and tomatoes, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the liquid reduces and thickens, 20-30 minutes.

When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 450˚F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal results, set to 500˚F if available.

Make the burgers. Divide the ground beef into four equal portions. Form into even patties and season with Traeger Prime Rib Rub.

Insert the probe horizontally into a burger patty. Place the burgers directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook for 6 minutes, then flip, and reduce the grill temp to 180˚F, using Super Smoke if available. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 140˚F, or desired doneness, 7 minutes.
