Burger Components

Horseradish Cream

IPA Onion Rings

Method

Preparing the Horseradish Cream

  1. 1

    Make the Horseradish Cream

    In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, prepared horseradish, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Cooking the Bacon

  1. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the applewood bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Form and Cook the Burger Patties

    Divide the Angus beef into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about ¾ inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  2. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place one slice each of American and Wisconsin cheddar cheese on top of each burger patty. Cover the grill or skillet to help the cheese melt.

Preparing the IPA Onion Rings

  1. 5

    Slice and Prepare Onion Rings

    Peel and slice the onion into ½ inch thick rings. In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the IPA until smooth. Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

  2. 6

    Fry the Onion Rings

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the onion rings in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Ultimate BGR

  1. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster. On the bottom half, layer green leaf lettuce, the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, tomato slices, and pickles. Add a generous dollop of horseradish cream on top, then place the top half of the bun to finish.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the Ultimate BGR with a side of IPA onion rings for a complete meal.
