Ideal for a flavorful main course that’s quick and easy to make, bringing the classic pub-style burger right to your kitchen in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Units Scale

  • Beef Patties

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon burger seasoning blend

  • Toppings

  • 4–6 tablespoons pub cheese spread
  • Beer caramelized onions (see Note for preparation suggestion)
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked

  • Buns

  • 4 burger buns (brioche, kaiser rolls, or pretzel rolls recommended; toasted)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef Patties: Place the ground beef in a bowl and add the burger seasoning blend. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined, then form the mixture into 4 even patties.
  2. Grill the Patties: Preheat your grill (or grill pan/skillet) to medium-high heat. Grill the beef patties for 7-10 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until they reach your desired level of doneness.
  3. Assemble the Burgers: Remove the patties from the grill and place each on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top each patty with a generous tablespoon of pub cheese spread, a spoonful of beer-caramelized onions, and 2 slices of cooked bacon.
  4. Finish and Serve: Place the top half of the bun on each burger. Serve immediately, with your choice of additional toppings or sauces as desired.

Notes

  • Cheese Substitutions: Feel free to use cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, herb cheese blends, or your preferred cheese instead of the pub spread.
  • Sweeten the Patty: Add a pinch of brown sugar, salt, and black pepper to the burger seasoning for a sweeter flavor profile.
  • Toast the Buns: For extra texture and a golden crust, toast the buns before assembling.
  • Bun Options: Brioche, kaiser rolls, and pretzel rolls are all excellent, with pretzel rolls mimicking the Pretzel Haus style.
  • Add an Egg: Top your burger with a fried egg for an indulgent twist.
  • Lager or Ale: Use either lager or ale when making caramelized onions to suit your taste.
  • Other Proteins: Swap the beef for grilled chicken breasts or steak burger patties if desired.
  • Alternate Cooking Methods: These burgers can also be cooked in the air fryer or stovetop skillet.
  • Additional Toppings: Try grilled mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, or BBQ sauce for more variety.
  • Caramelized Onions: For beer caramelized onions, sauté sliced onions in butter until soft, then add a splash of lager or ale and cook until caramelized.
