How to Make Beer Burgers With Beer Braised Onions

  1. **Prepare the Onions:** Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced, and sauté, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5-6 minutes.
  3. Pour in ¾ cup of your favorite beer (dark beers work well!), 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beer is absorbed and the onions begin to brown slightly, about 18-20 minutes.
  5. Add the remaining ¼ cup beer and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Keep the onions warm while you cook the burgers.
  7. **Prepare the Burgers:** In a large bowl, gently combine 1 pound ground chuck, 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. Handle gently to avoid tough burgers.
  9. **Grill the Burgers:** Grill the patties to your desired doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium).
  10. **Toast the Buns:** Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for added flavor.
  11. **Assemble the Burgers:** Serve the burgers on the toasted buns, topped with the beer-braised onions, your favorite cheese slices (cheddar or Swiss recommended), and ketchup.
