Description

The Irish Pub Burger is a hearty, flavorful burger featuring juicy beef, sharp Irish cheddar, and a hint of whiskey, served on a toasted bun with fresh vegetables for a true pub-style experience.


Ingredients

1 pound ground beef (80% lean)

4 slices of aged Irish cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon whiskey (optional)

1 clove garlic, minced

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 burger buns (preferably Irish-style)

Lettuce leaves

Tomato slices

Pickles

1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)

1 tablespoon mustard (optional)


Instructions

  1. Make the Patty Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties slightly larger than the buns.
  3. Cook the Patties: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Irish cheddar on top of each patty to melt.
  4. Toast the Buns: Slice the burger buns in half and toast them in the pan for about 1 minute or until golden brown.
  5. Assemble the Burgers: On the bottom half of each toasted bun, add a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheddar, a slice of tomato, and pickles. Optionally, spread mayonnaise or mustard on the top bun before placing it on the burger.
  6. Serve: Plate the burgers and serve with your favorite side dishes such as fries or a salad.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey for beef.

Experiment with other cheeses such as gouda or Swiss for different flavor profiles.

For extra spice, top the burger with diced jalapeños or a spicy sauce like sriracha.

Make ahead: Prepare the patties up to 24 hours in advance and store in the refrigerator before cooking.
