- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 cup beer (I used Yeungling.)
- 4 burger buns
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- burger fixins (lettuce, tomatoes, onions, spinach, apple slices … whatever ya want)
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Or plug in an electric kitchen grill.
Mix the ground beef, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme in a bowl. Mix in the beer until absorbed by the meat mixture (It will seem like the beer won’t absorb at first. Keep mashing). Form into patties.
Cook on the preheated grill until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes per side for well done, or about 5 minutes total in an electric kitchen grill. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees.
Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of cheese on the insides of each burger bun. Place buns on grill (with the lid covering) or under a broiler for about 1 minute, or until cheese melts.
Assemble burgers with your desired fixins.
Makes 4.
