Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 cup sharp Irish cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 brioche buns
  • ½ cup whiskey
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 large onion, caramelized

  2. Form Patties: Shape ground beef into four patties (¾ inch thick) and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Grill Patties: Cook each patty on medium-high heat for about 4 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Add cheese slices just before removing from heat to melt.
  4. Toast Buns: Lightly toast brioche buns on the grill or toaster until golden brown.
  5. Assemble Burgers: Spread whiskey sauce on both sides of each bun, layer with lettuce, place the cheesy patty on top, and finish with caramelized onions.
  6. Serve: Enjoy immediately with sides like potato wedges or salad.
