Create A Craft Burger Bar In Your Backyard With These 3 Recipes

Summer isn’t over just yet! While the Fourth of July might be the biggest grilling holiday in the US, Labor Day is right at its heels in third place. In fact, the US has a long history of firing up the grill on federal holidays. This said, if you’re like most Americans, you’re probably heading to the store to stock up on your hamburger and hotdog supplies soon. Unless you’re a top chef, you’re probably just planning on throwing some patties with your typical cheese, lettuce, and ketchup toppings. But why settle for boring (likely burnt) burgers when you could have boozy burgers? With the right ingredients, you can create your own booze-infused craft burger bar right in your backyard. Here are three recipes to wow your friends and family this weekend from Booze Dogs.

Pepper Mayo Bourbon-Glaze Liquor Burger

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 lbs. of your choice of our bourbon burgers
  • 1/4 cup steak sauce of your choosing
  • 1 cup shredded or whole lettuce of your choice
  • 1 1/4 cups fried onions
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper (we recommend grinding your own black peppercorn)

Instructions:

  1. Fire up your grill. Take the meat, salt, steak sauce, 1/2 cup of the onions, and 1/2 teaspoons of your pepper.
  2. Roll your ingredients into 1/2 inch thick 4 patties. Mix the other half of your teaspoon of pepper and the mayonnaise in a small bowl.
  3. Throw the patties on the grill over medium heat. Cover your grill space and cook for 12 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure to turn halfway through!
  4. While cooking your patties, place your bun halves face down to toast lightly.
  5. Take a knife or basting brush and generously spread your mixture of mayonnaise on your buns.
  6. Plop your Booze Dogs patties onto your buns and top with lettuce, and the remainder of your onions.
  7. Top off with a skewer or flag if you’re feeling fancy.
