Bacon Beer Burger
The Burger That Justifies a Craft Beer List
A beef patty stacked with Jones Cherrywood Smoked Bacon, a rich house-made cheddar beer cheese spread, and sweet stout-braised onions on a toasted pretzel bun. Every component is made from scratch and built to anchor a burger menu.
Ingredients
- Cheddar Beer Cheese Spread:
- 10 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon whole grain Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon hot horseradish
- 1/2 cup Stout beer
- Stout-Braised Onions:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 16 ounces Stout beer
- Burgers:
- 1 (6 oz) beef burger patty, seasoned
- 1 pretzel bun, split
- Jones Dairy Farm Cherrywood Smoked Bacon
Directions
To make the cheddar beer cheese spread, add cheddar cheese, garlic, green onion, mustard and horseradish to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade.
Process until mixture forms a thick paste. With the machine running, add beer, processing until creamy.
Add additional beer as needed, to get desired consistency. Transfer spread to a bowl; cover and refrigerate 2 hours to allow flavors to blend.
To make the beer braised onions melt butter in medium skillet. Add onion and cook until translucent but not browned. Sprinkle with sugar and add beer.
Stir and reduce heat to low, allowing onions to braise until beer has evaporated, about 15 to 20 minutes. Check onions frequently, adding additional water or beer if they dry out too quickly.
To assemble the burgers, cook burger to desired doneness and top with cheddar beer cheese spread. Toast pretzel bun, if desired. Top bottom of bun with burger; top with stout-braised onions and bacon. Top with bun.
