How To Make The Easiest Bacon-Wrapped Burgers on a Ninja Woodfire Grill
- Add Robust pellets to the pellet hopper.
- Fire up your Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill and set it to grill, high, 20 minutes (they won’t take 20 minutes.) Press the Woodfire smoke button to infuse your burgers with a kiss of smoke.
- Meanwhile, wrap the frozen burger patties in 2 slices of bacon. Pull the bacon kind of tight, and overlap the ends on the underside of the burger.
- When the Ninja is ready, add the burgers to the grill and close the lid.
- Cook the burgers for 3-4 minutes, then flip them and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes.
- Check the internal temperature of the burgers – they should be 165-F with a digital meat thermometer.
- Serve the burgers on fresh buns with all your favorite toppings.
Chef Jenn’s Tips
- Make sure you have pellets in the hopper if you use Woodfire smoke.
