Ingredients

  • For Red Onion Compote
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 1/4 cups beer
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 red onions, sliced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For Burgers:

  • 3 pounds ground beef
  • 1/4 cup beer
  • 2 tablespoons grill seasoning
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar
  • Romaine lettuce
  • 4 hamburger rolls, toasted

Directions

For Red Onion Compote:

In a medium saucepan add 1/2 cup water, beer, brown sugar, and red onions. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally for about 1 hour or until the mixture has thickened and has reduced to about 2 cups. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool completely.

For Burgers:

In a large bowl mix together the ground beef, beer and grill seasoning until well incorporated. Reserve half of the mixture for Round 2 Meatloaf recipe. Shape the remaining beef into 4 equal portions and flatten each portion. Place 2 tablespoons of cheese in the center of each and wrap the edges around the cheese to form a ball. Flatten each ball into patties. Place on platter and cover. Refrigerate if not cooking immediately.

Set up grill or indoor grill pan for direct cooking over medium-high heat. When ready to start grilling, oil the grate. Place patties on the hot oiled grill and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium. Serve over lettuce on toasted buns topped with red onion compote. (Reserve leftover compote for Round 2 Meatloaf)

Use the leftovers from this recipe to make Ale and Onion Meatloaf.

    This was a very good burger. The addition of beer really puts it over the top. I cooked it on the inside grill and it was really delicious. I also prepared the red onion compote with good results. It was pretty tasty for a good change to the regular.

    My husband and I watched the show and these burgers looked so good that we went out for the ingredients and tried them that evening. The onion compote was so flavorful and sweet it is the only topping we used on our burgers. I don't like the taste of beer so I was skeptical but I loved the onion compote and will make this again. Also, I used the leftovers for the round 2 meatloaf and it was pretty good too!

    This was easy to fix and was a hit with my family. The compote goes well with steak too. Very tasty dish.
