Ingredients for Beer And Pretzel Burgers

  • 1/2 cup beer (any kind you enjoy)
  • Pretzel
  • 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Lean Ground Beef
  • Hamburger Buns

How to Make Beer And Pretzel Burgers

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup beer, 1 cup crushed pretzels, 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Add 1.5 lbs of ground beef to the bowl and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the burgers tough.
  4. Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties.
  5. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  6. Grill the patties for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they reach your desired doneness (use a meat thermometer to ensure safety).
  7. During the last minute of grilling, place the hamburger buns, cut-side down, on the grill to lightly toast them.
  8. Serve the Beer and Pretzel Burgers immediately on the toasted buns. Top with your favorite condiments such as ketchup, mustard, cheese, or other desired toppings!

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.
