Every time I make this Irish Pub Burger, I’m transported back to a cozy pub in Dublin where the fire was warm and the laughter was louder than the rain outside. This recipe brings that comforting, hearty flavor home. Great for a weekend treat or when you want to impress someone with your burger game. Try it out and let the flavors do the storytelling.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 4 slices Irish cheddar cheese

  • 4 brioche burger buns

  • 4 slices cooked bacon (optional but recommended)

  • 1/2 cup Guinness beer (for the onions)

  • 1 large onion, sliced

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • Lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles for topping

Instructions

  • Make the Guinness onions: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced onion and cook until soft. Pour in Guinness and simmer until the liquid reduces and the onions are caramelized (about 10–15 minutes).

  • Prepare the patties: In a bowl, mix ground beef, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties.

  • Cook the burgers: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties 4–5 minutes per side or until done to your liking. Top each with a slice of cheddar during the last minute.

  • Toast the buns: Lightly toast the brioche buns for extra flavor and texture.

  • Assemble your masterpiece: Spread mayo and Dijon on the bottom bun. Add the burger patty, bacon, Guinness onions, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Top it off with the bun lid.

Notes

  • Don’t Overwork the Meat: When forming your patties, handle the meat gently. Overmixing can make the burgers tough.

  • Indent the Center: Press a small dimple in the center of each patty with your thumb to keep them from puffing up while cooking.

  • Use a Meat Thermometer: For perfect doneness, aim for 160°F (71°C) for well-done, or 145°F (63°C) for medium.

  • Rest Before Serving: Let burgers rest for 2–3 minutes after cooking to keep the juices in.
