Ingredients for Alaska Burgers

  • Ground Beef
  • 1 medium onion (about 1 cup, finely chopped)
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Cracked Black Pepper
  • Smoked Cheddar Cheese

How to Make Alaska Burgers

  1. Finely chop 1 medium onion (about 1 cup).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1 cup chopped onion, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Avoid overmixing.
  3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions.
  4. Place a slice of cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite) in the center of each portion.
  5. Carefully form each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Gently press the cheese into the patty to prevent it from falling out.
  6. Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
  7. Cook the burgers for 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Add bacon slices if using during the last couple minutes of cooking. Drizzle BBQ sauce on top in the last minute.
  8. Serve immediately on toasted buns topped with lettuce and tomato slices. Enjoy with a side of your favorite summer salad!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
