Beer Burgers Recipes

BEER CAN BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium. In a large bowl, season beef with Worcestershire and garlic powder. Roll into ½-pound balls, then place a beer can in the middle to shape into a bowl. Press beef up the sides of the beer can. Gently twist beer can to come out of burger bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Wrap two slices bacon around the bowl. If stuffing with cheddar and jalapeño, top with cheese and jalapeños. If stuffing with peppers and onions, stuff with peppers and onions and top with a slice of provolone.
• Grill until burger is cooked, 30 minutes for medium.
• Serve on buns with lettuce and tomato.

BEER-CHEESE BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and mustard powder and cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Whisk in the beer and bring to a simmer; whisk in the half-and-half until smooth. Return the sauce to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the cheese and horseradish until smooth; keep warm.
• Form the beef into four 6-ounce patties, about 3/4 inch thick; press the center of each patty with your thumb to make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation. Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil, then grill the patties, indentation-side up, until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm, about 3 more minutes for medium doneness. Remove the patties to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Grill the rolls, cut-side down, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute.
• Top the bun bottoms with the burger patties, cheese sauce, tomato and chives. Cover with the bun tops.

Steps:

• Sauté onion, garlic, thyme and oregano over medium heat until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Let this cool completely.
• Add ground beef, onion mixture and egg together in a large bowl and mix until thoroughly blended. Slowly stir in stout beer, while mixing. You may want to add less beer than called for here if you find it is getting too thin, or more yet. Then add parsley, celery salt and black pepper and mix well. It's ideal to mix using your hands and you may want to wear rubber gloves for this.
