Ingredients
Scale
Beef Patties
- 1½ pounds ground beef
- 1 tablespoon burger seasoning blend
Toppings
- 4-6 tablespoons pub cheese spread
- Beer caramelized onions (see Note for preparation suggestion)
- 8 slices bacon, cooked
Buns
- 4 burger buns (brioche, kaiser rolls, or pretzel rolls recommended; toasted)
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Patties: Place the ground beef in a bowl and add the burger seasoning blend. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined, then form the mixture into 4 even patties.
- Grill the Patties: Preheat your grill or grill pan/skillet to medium-high heat. Grill the beef patties for 7-10 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking, until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Assemble the Burgers: Remove the patties from the grill and place each on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top each patty with a generous tablespoon of pub cheese spread, a spoonful of beer-caramelized onions, and two slices of cooked bacon.
- Finish and Serve: Place the top half of the bun on each burger. Serve immediately, optionally with your choice of additional toppings or sauces to elevate the flavor.
Notes
- For the beer caramelized onions, slowly cook sliced onions in a pan with butter over medium-low heat until soft and browned, then deglaze with a splash of beer and cook until the liquid evaporates to create a rich, flavorful topping.
- To enhance flavor, allow the patties to rest for a few minutes after grilling before assembling the burgers.
- Use brioche or pretzel rolls for a more authentic pub-style experience and better structural integrity.
- Cook bacon until crisp to add a satisfying crunch and smoky flavor.
