Grilling salmon on cedar planks is a pretty common thing. I’m not sure why I never thought about cooking burgers on them too, though. Bobby Flay thought about it. That means I had to make them too. These cedar-plank beef sliders were amazingly good. They’re the perfect two-bite, hand-held burgers. You’ll want to make extra because they definitely disappear fast.
A Different Kind Of Burger
The cedar adds just a bit of a twist to the burgers. They smell absolutely fantastic when cooking. The cedar flavor in the meat isn’t overwhelming. It’s there, though. It’s definitely something different and it adds a bit of a ‘wow’ factor to your cookout. The slider buns were also browned over the cedar for a little extra cedar flavor.
I served these delicious cedar-plank beef sliders with oven-baked fries and Crispers that were tossed in garlic oil and fresh choppy parsley.
I use this nifty little ole burger press to make these burgers. It’s the best thing ever for stuffing burgers with just about anything you can think of!

Cooking on cedar planks can really change the ordinary into something special, which is why I do it often. Check out my other cedar plank recipes: creamy mashed potatoes, Cajun mashed potatoes, Twinkies, chorizo portabellos, hot dogs, sausage sandwiches, shrimp and grits and spicy grilled shrimp.
