Irish Pub Burger Delight (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Burger patties and condiments

01 - 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend recommended for juiciness)
02 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
03 - Salt to taste
04 - Pepper to taste
05 - 1/2 cup sour cream
06 - 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

→ Toppings and buns

07 - 4 slices of bacon
08 - 1 large onion, sliced
09 - 1/2 cup Irish stout (such as Guinness)
10 - 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
11 - 4 burger buns (preferably brioche)
12 - Butter (for toasting buns)

# Instructions:

01 - Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.
02 - In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook over medium heat until caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Add stout and simmer until reduced by half. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
03 - In a bowl, mix ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 patties, slightly larger than the buns.
04 - Cook patties on a grill or skillet over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side. During the last minute of cooking, top with cheddar cheese to melt.
05 - In a small bowl, mix sour cream, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
06 - Melt butter in a pan and toast the buns until golden brown.
07 - Assemble burgers with patties, caramelized onions, bacon, mustard sauce, and top buns. Serve hot.

# Notes:

01 - For a traditional Irish twist, try using ground lamb instead of beef. Customize the cheese or add extra toppings like jalapeños for a spicy kick.
