A smoky twist on a BBQ classic. Juicy beef burgers stuffed with melting centre of Smoked Chilli Rustic for a smoky, spicy kick.
We’ve taken the humble burger up a notch with the bold flavour of our Smoked Chilli Rustic. Infused with Ancho, Chipotle and numex mix flakes from South Devon Chilli Farm, this cheese adds a subtle heat and deep savoury note that pairs beautifully with flame-grilled beef. It’s BBQ indulgence with a grown-up kick — simple, satisfying, and seriously good. You can also try adding a variety of chutneys to the mix.

Instructions
 

Make the Beef Patty Mix:

  • In a large bowl, combine beef, onion, mustard, seasoning, and egg if using. Mix gently — avoid overworking to keep the burgers tender.
  • Shape the Patties:
  • Divide the mix into 4 equal parts.

Stuffed Option:

  • o Flatten each portion into two thin discs.
  • o Place some grated/sliced Smoked Chilli Rustic in the centre of one, cover with the second disc, and seal the edges well.
  • o Chill for 10–15 minutes before cooking to help them hold shape.

BBQ Grill the Burgers:

  • BBQ grill over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. If not stuffed, add cheese slices in the last 2 minutes to melt on top. For extra cheesiness, you can add slices to the stuffed burgers.

Assembly and sauce options:

  • Toast the buns on the grill for 1 minute. Build burgers with salad, pickles, and any sauces you like — we love a smoky mayo, you can make this by adding a spoonful or our smoked red pepper relish to mayo and mix well or the teams favourite try the caramelized red onion, rosemary and thyme marmalade with this cheese.
