My wife saw the famous Tik Tok “grinder sandwich” and made it for one of our latest Packer party. It was FANTASTIC and a crowd favorite. It got her thinking, what if we followed my [No Flip Burgers – Pellet Grill Addicts] recipe and turned that into a smoked grinder burger?!
Well, whenever my wife starts thinking up creations you know DARN well that I am 100% in to give it a try! Besides, I figured it’d work pretty well given all the components of the dish and, guess what, it did NOT disappoint. Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you: The Pellet Grill Addicts Grinder Burger!
