Smoky BBQ Cheddar Burger recipe disclaimer: Burger Month is hosted by Girl Carnivore, but all opinions and burger recipe deliciousness are, of course,  my own.

Smoky BBQ Cheddar Burger is my recipe of the day  with  Burger  Month. For this burger  I wanted to  make something out on the grill with lots of smoky flavor, tons of  smoked cheese and topped with pulled pork.

I am a huge fan of barbecue whether I  smoke my own meats or in a more  perfect  world, go out for a drive to  my  favorite bbj joint (Eli Leisring’s place). Sometimes  people might see me  post about it on Facebook or Instagram when I am out and about and don’t  feel  like cooking. I am really fond of his rib tips.

At home  I  might make a pulled pork  from a Boston Butt. It makes a ton  so there  will be leftover, which I use to top  my burger. If  you aren’t a pitmaster,  you can feel  free to buy some pulled pork in tubs at the  grocery store.

I made my  own  sauce for this, which  is primo. But you can use bottled sauce  too. I recommend learning  how  to  make your  own  sauce from the ground  up.  It  gives  you so much more  control.
