Ingredients:
For the Beer-Infused Patties:
- 1 ½ pounds of ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
- ½ cup of your favorite beer (pale ale or lager works well)
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
For the Tangy Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Assembly:
- 6 brioche burger buns, split and lightly toasted
- 6 slices of cheddar cheese
- 6 leaves of iceberg lettuce
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 12 slices of crispy bacon
- Pickles, for garnish
- Additional condiments of your choice (ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, etc.)
Instructions:
Prepare the Beer-Infused Patties:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Pour in the beer and gently mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into patties, slightly larger than the size of your burger buns.
- Using your thumb, create a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from bulging while cooking.
- Place the patties on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Prepare the Tangy Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preference, then cover the bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
Grill the Patties:
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and allow it to melt slightly.
- Once done, transfer the patties to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes.
Assemble the Burgers:
- Spread a generous amount of the tangy sauce on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun.
- Layer a leaf of lettuce, followed by a slice of tomato and a few slices of red onion on top of the sauce.
- Place a beer-infused patty with melted cheese on each bun bottom.
- Top each patty with two slices of crispy bacon.
- Add a few pickles on top for an extra crunch and tangy flavor.
- Finally, place the top half of the toasted brioche bun over the fillings, pressing down gently to secure everything in place.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Arrange the JAG Burger Beer Bowery on a serving platter alongside your favorite side dishes such as crispy fries, onion rings, or a fresh garden salad.
- Serve immediately while the patties are still warm and the cheese is gooey.
- Enjoy the explosion of flavors with every bite and savor the unique combination of beer-infused beef, tangy sauce, and crispy toppings.
