Served on toasted buns, this burger delivers a classic pub experience with juicy, savory taste and melty cheese goodness.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Burger Patties

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 cup Irish stout beer
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Toppings and Assembly

  • 4 slices Irish cheddar cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • Butter, for toasting the buns
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Burger Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Irish stout beer, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat to keep the burgers tender. Divide into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4-inch thick, pressing a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing up during cooking.
  2. Preheat Grill or Skillet: Heat your grill or a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot enough for cooking. This ensures a nice sear on the patties.
  3. Cook the Patties: Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, flipping once. This gives a delicious sear and cooks the patties to your preferred doneness.
  4. Add Cheese: During the last minute of cooking, add a slice of Irish cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover the grill or skillet to allow the cheese to melt, creating a gooey, flavorful topping.
  5. Toast the Buns: While patties are cooking, butter the hamburger buns. Toast them on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown and crispy for the perfect crunchy texture to complement the juicy burgers.
  6. Assemble the Burgers: Place each cooked patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Add optional toppings like lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, and mayonnaise according to your taste. Finish by placing the top half of the bun over the fillings.
  7. Serve: Serve your Irish Pub Burgers immediately with classic sides such as crispy fries or creamy coleslaw for a true pub-style meal experience.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overmix the meat to keep the burgers juicy and tender.
  • Pressing an indentation in the center of each patty helps prevent the burgers from puffing up while cooking.
  • Use authentic Irish cheddar cheese for the best flavor and melting quality.
  • Toast buns with butter for added richness and a crisp texture.
  • Optional toppings can be customized to your preference, including adding caramelized onions or bacon for extra flavor.
  • For food safety, ensure ground beef patties are cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
