Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.5 cup dark beer (such as stout or porter)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces brioche burger buns
• 4 pieces cheddar cheese slices
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 12 pieces pickle slices
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, dark beer, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Gently mix the ingredients together, being careful not to overwork the meat to keep the burgers tender.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties about ¾ inch thick. Use your thumb to make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up while cooking.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty to melt.

Step 6

While the patties cook, lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: spread mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, pickle slices, the cooked patty with melted cheese, and the top bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Brew Burgers!
