Ingredients
Scale
For the Burger Patties
- 2 lb ground beef
- ½ cup Guinness beer
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp dried minced onion flakes
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For Serving
- 6 slices American cheese
- 6 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Prepare the Burger Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, Guinness beer, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, dried minced onion flakes, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the meat, ensuring juicy burgers.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Using a kitchen scale is recommended for uniformity. Shape each portion into a patty about ¾-inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing during grilling.
- Grill the Burgers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook to your preferred doneness—about 4-5 minutes per side for medium. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
- Assemble and Serve: Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill if desired. Place the cheesy patties on the buns and add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, or condiments. Serve immediately while hot and juicy.
Notes
- Using a kitchen scale for portioning ensures even cooking times and consistent burger sizes.
- Do not overmix the beef to keep the burgers tender and juicy.
- Guinness beer adds a subtle malty flavor; substitute another stout if unavailable.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, and add extra Worcestershire sauce for more umami if preferred.
- For indoor cooking, these patties can be cooked under a broiler or in a skillet on the stovetop.
