Pretzel Bun Beer Cheese Burger Ingredients
  • 1 lb Ground Beef or ground turkey for a lighter option
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder fresh minced garlic works as a substitute

  • 1 cup Pale Ale Beer substitute with your favorite lager or amber ale
  • 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard yellow mustard is an easier alternative
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce soy sauce can work in a pinch
  • 2 tbsp Chopped Green Onions chives are a fantastic substitute
  • 4 leaves Lettuce Leaves swap in any greens like arugula or spinach

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your ingredients while the oven heats.
  2. Slice the pretzel buns in half and brush the insides with olive oil. Toast cut-side up on a baking sheet for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Combine ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Form into four patties slightly larger than the buns.
  4. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned, avoiding pressing down.
  5. Top each patty with a scoop of beer cheese sauce and cook for another 4-5 minutes until melted.
  6. Assemble the burger: start with the bottom half of a pretzel bun, add lettuce, the cheesy patty, and pickles, then top with the bun.
  7. Serve immediately on a wooden platter, garnished with extra pickles if desired, paired with fries or potato wedges.
