Burger Patty

Bread

Method

Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patty

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal parts and form them into burger patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat 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.

Beer Cheese Sauce

  1. 4

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

  2. 5

    Add Liquids

    Gradually whisk in the milk and beer, ensuring there are no lumps.

  3. 6

    Add Cheeses and Seasonings

    Once the mixture is smooth and bubbling, reduce heat to low and add the sharp cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Toast the Bread

    While the cheese sauce is cooking, toast the rye bread slices until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Burger

    Place a cooked burger patty on each slice of toasted rye bread. Generously spoon the beer cheese sauce over each patty.

  3. 9

    Add Toppings

    Top each burger with chopped bacon and green onions.

  4. 10

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Bier Cheese Burger!
