Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Kentucky bourbon, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into round patties, about ¾ inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mayonnaise. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Kentucky Bourbon Burgers hot with your favorite side dishes.
