For those of us unlikely to have the chance to taste the famous burgerdog at the Olympic Club in San Francisco, social-media star Chance Cozby has you covered.
Also known as @3piecesofpecan, Cozby has a following of more than 1.6 million across multiple platforms, and his feeds are full of delicious recipes.
Grilling is a particular specialty for Cozby, and in the latest edition of Clubhouse Eats, Cozby explains the keys to making a delicious burgerdog — a cheeseburger in the shape of a hot dog — at home. The good news? It’s easier than you might think.
A good burgerdog starts with high-quality ground beef. Cozby recommends 80/20, but says you can go with whatever ratio you prefer. Start with a 20-ounce pack, and mold the beef into a rectangular pan on top of some parchment paper. Once that’s done, you can easily lift the ground beef out of the pan and flip it on to a prep tray, where you can slice the beef into slender rectangles that will fit nicely on a hot dog bun. These patties will be approximately a quarter-pound each.
Season the beef with some salt and pepper, then get ready to transfer the patties to the grill. Cozby uses a Traeger Flatrock, and says the patties only need about three minutes per side to cook perfectly.
“You just gotta kind of feel it out,” Cozby says. “We want each of the edges to be nice and crispy. They’re only a quarter pound, so it’s gonna be a pretty quick cook.”
After flipping the burgers, you can toast the buns for about two minutes on the other side of the grill. Add whatever cheese you like to the patties. Cozby favors American.
Once the burgers and patties are done, they’re ready for immediate consumption. Dress them with whatever condiments you like. Cozby prefers yellow mustard, diced white onions and tomatoes, and dill pickles. Then, it’s time to eat.
Cozby’s verdict?
“That’s damn good.”
