Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 8 slices bacon
• 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 brioche buns
• Mayonnaise, as needed
• Whole grain mustard, as needed
• Lettuce leaves
• Dill pickles, sliced

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 pounds of ground beef, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Form the mixture into four equal patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing up during cooking.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 thinly sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, cook 8 slices of bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
4. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of sharp cheddar cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.
5. While the burgers are cooking, lightly butter the cut sides of 4 brioche buns. Toast the buns on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown and slightly crispy.
6. Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise and whole grain mustard on the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Place a lettuce leaf on each bun, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese. Top with crispy bacon slices, caramelized onions, and a few slices of dill pickles. Finish with the top half of the bun.
7. Serve the Pub Burgers immediately with a side of fries or your favorite pub snack. Get ready to enjoy a juicy, flavorful burger that’s sure to impress!
