Burger Patties

Toppings

Guinness BBQ Sauce

For Assembling

Method

Prepare the BBQ Sauce

  1. 1

    Make the Guinness BBQ Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine the Guinness stout, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Thicken the Sauce

    Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until it thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Once thickened, remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Burger Patties

  1. 3

    Form the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

Prepare the Toppings

  1. 6

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, wash and chop the lettuce, slice the tomato, and slice the onion into rings.

  2. 7

    Prepare Onion Straws

    If using store-bought onion straws, have them ready. If making homemade, slice an onion into thin rings, dip in flour, and fry until golden brown.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 8

    Build the Big Ped's

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or skillet. Start by placing one patty on the bottom bun, followed by lettuce, tomato, onion, a generous amount of Guinness BBQ sauce, and then the second patty. Top with onion straws and place the top bun on.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your choice of sides, and enjoy your Big Ped's!
