Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, light lager, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined. Form the mixture into 4 equal patties.

  2. 2

    Grill the Patties

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the burger patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Make the Beer Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine Guinness, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Place each burger patty on a bun, generously drizzle the beer cheese sauce over the patty, and top with crispy onion strings.

  5. 5
