Momma’s Best Dam Burger Recipe

This burger recipe is packed with flavor and perfect for the grill, cabin, campsite, or quick family meals. The secret ingredient gives these burgers an unbelievable smoky BBQ taste and helps keep them juicy.

Ingredients
2 lbs ground burger
A couple of dashes of salt
A couple of dashes of garlic salt
Couple dashes lemon pepper
About 1/2 cup Famous Dave’s Rich & Sassy BBQ Sauce
Optional: extra seasoning or BBQ sauce if needed

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground burger, salt, garlic salt, and lemon pepper.
Add the Famous Dave’s Rich & Sassy BBQ Sauce and mix everything together well.
The secret is getting the meat mixture sticky enough to hold together while still smelling amazing. Add a little more BBQ sauce or seasoning if needed.
Use a patty maker if possible and weigh out patties. We like making them around 7 oz each for a thick, juicy burger.
Place patties on wax paper.
Either throw them directly on the grill or freeze them for later.
Once frozen, vacuum seal in packs of 3 for easy, quick meals anytime.
Grill Tips
Cook over medium heat until burgers reach your preferred doneness.
Toast the buns on the grill for extra flavor.
Top with cheese, crispy bacon, grilled onions, or your favorite burger toppings.
Napa Nate Tip

We usually make 15–20 pounds at a time, so there’s always burgers ready for cabin weekends, lake days, or quick suppers after fishing.

🎣 Napa Nate Real Estate Fishing Report with Chuck on Leech Lake 🎣

Leech Lake is heating up and the bite has been solid! Chuck and I have been finding walleyes in the weeds and along the breaks. Early mornings and evenings have been producing the best action with jig and minnow combos, slip bobbers, and crankbaits starting to turn on. Perch action has been picking up too, and don’t be surprised if an eelpout or northern joins the party!

Thinking about living the lake life full time? There’s nothing better than fishing Leech Lake right out your back door. Call me today and let’s find your dream lake property!

Award Winning Beer Butt Chicken
(Keep this one secret… seriously )

Start with a 5–6 lb. young chicken. Coat the entire bird heavily with mustard, then season generously with salt, pepper, and a healthy amount of Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning. Figure about 1 bird for every 3 hungry people.

FYI, you will NOT taste the mustard. The mustard works as a shell and binder to hold all the seasoning and moisture into the chicken while it cooks low and slow.

Place the seasoned birds into a non-scented trash bag and refrigerate for 24 hours so all that flavor can soak in.

Fire up your grill or smoker — smoker is the way to go if you ask me. Cook low and slow around 225–250°F for 6–9 hours, until the legs twist off easily.

Now for the secret move…
Crack open a beer and drink half of it, then pour in about 1/4 can of Dr Pepper. Place the bird standing up on the can, and spread its legs like a kickstand to hold it upright.

Add 1/2 stick of real salted butter to the chicken's neck cavity. While cooking, baste every 30–60 minutes with melted butter mixed with Creole seasoning.

The result?
Juicy, smoky, fall-apart chicken with crispy skin and flavor that wins BBQ cookoffs.

Warning: Once you make this, your friends will never stop asking you to cook.

3-2-1 Ribs Done Right + Uncle Rod’s Breakfast Potatoes!

Smoke those ribs low and slow, wrap them with butter and flavor, then finish with that sticky, fall-off-the-bone glaze… now that’s a meal.

But we’re not stopping there—pair it with Uncle Rod’s famous breakfast potatoes. Crispy, golden, bacon-fried goodness with onions, seasoning, and just enough butter to bring it all together. Throw a couple over-easy eggs on top, and you’ve got pure chaos on a plate.

Backyard cooking at its finest—simple, hearty, and made to feed the crew.
