We thought of this recipe when we were making stuffed flank steaks and ended up loving stuffed ground beef even more! The texture of ground beef allows a lot of smoke and moisture to hold inside. I know it sounds crazy, but trust us when we say this recipe is delicious.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 egg
- ¼ of red onion minced
- 1 cup of Shiitake mushrooms chopped
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- 5 slices of mild cheddar
- ½ cup cilantro chopped
- ½ cup of your favorite bbq sauce (we used GMG Cattle Drive)

- 2 tsp cayenne powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder

Notes:
This recipe is courtesy of Green Mountain Grills. The original recipe used GMG Gold Blend wood pellets. Follow it or make it your own.
Directions
- Preheat grill to 150.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in ground beef, egg, and seasonings. Mix thoroughly.
- Spread out the ground beef onto a silicone grill mat (wax paper will work fine). Spread it out as evenly and thin as you can into a rectangular shape.
- Spread the chopped mushrooms, onions, cilantro, and cheese evenly onto the ground beef. You will be rolling this up like a sushi roll, so even ingredients is key.
- Use the silicone grill mat to slowly roll one side of the meat and continue until the entire rectangle is rolled tight.
- Spread the chopped garlic pieces across the silicone mat and roll the meat log across it so the chopped garlic pieces are spread over the log.
- Place the meat log on the silicone mat inside your smoker at 150 degrees for 2-3 hours until the internal temperature reaches 110 degrees.
- Take off the meat, and turn your grill up to 400 degrees.
- Brush your favorite sweet BBQ sauce on the meat log and place it back in the smoker until the internal temperature reaches 135-145 degrees (depending on how cooked you like it).
