Method
Burger Patties Preparation
Prepare the Beef
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined.
Form Patties
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
Guinness BBQ Sauce Preparation
Combine Ingredients
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the Guinness beer, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Simmer Sauce
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cooking the Burger
Assembly
Assemble the Burger
Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster. Spread a generous amount of Guinness BBQ sauce on the bottom bun, add the lettuce, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, and top with crispy fried onions. Finish with the top bun.
Serve
Serve the Guinness burgers immediately with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
