 There's nothing quite like biting into a succulent, homemade burger, especially when it's dripping with a rich, creamy beer cheese sauce. This classic beer cheese burger recipe combines the hearty flavors of beef, the sharpness of cheddar, and the distinct taste of beer-infused cheese sauce for an unforgettable meal that's perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

For the Burger:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 hamburger buns, preferably brioche
  • 4 thick slices of cheddar cheese
  • 8 strips of bacon, cooked until crispy
  • 1 large onion, sliced and caramelized

For the Beer Cheese Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup beer (a lager or ale works well)
  • 1/2 cup milk or cream
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)
  • 2 cups (approx. 200g) sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Season ground beef with salt and pepper and form into four patties with a dimple in the center for even cooking.
  2. Cook patties on a preheated grill or skillet to your preferred doneness, adding cheddar slices just before they finish cooking for a perfect melt.
  3. For the beer cheese sauce, start by melting butter in a saucepan, whisking in flour for a roux, then gradually add beer and milk until smooth. Stir in mustard powder and smoked paprika, then melt in the cheddar cheese, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble your burgers with the patty, bacon, caramelized onions, and a generous topping of beer cheese sauce on a toasted bun.
  5. Add any extra toppings like pickles or tomatoes if desired, and pair with beer-battered fries for the ultimate treat.

This burger is more than just a meal; it's a culinary adventure that's sure to impress. The melty cheese, the savory bacon, the sweet onions, and that delectable beer cheese sauce are a symphony of flavors that make this burger a star on any menu.
