Ingredients

• 2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 0.5 cup Beer (any lager or pale ale)
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 6 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 6 Burger buns
• 2 tbsp Butter, softened
• 6 Lettuce leaves
• 1 Tomato, sliced
• 0.5 cup Pickles, sliced
• 0 Ketchup (optional)
• 0 Mustard (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Mix gently with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 3

Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each into a burger patty about 3/4-inch thick. Make a shallow indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for medium. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

Step 6

While the burgers are cooking, butter the inside of each burger bun and toast lightly on the grill until golden brown, about 1–2 minutes.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of the bun, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a tomato slice, a few pickle slices, and any desired condiments like ketchup or mustard.

Step 8

Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your Picnic Party Beer Burgers with your favorite sides!
