Whiskey Glazed Burgers Topped with Irish Cheddar
Whiskey Glazed Burgers Topped with Irish Cheddar are our new favorite burger. Tomorrow, I’ll be making these for St. Patrick’s Day. Since, my family doesn’t like corned beef and cabbage. But, these burgers are delicious on any occasion. I start these burgers by stirring together a simple Irish Whiskey Glaze. I glaze the burgers with it, and it adds so much yummy flavor. Next, I top the burgers with rich and creamy Irish cheddar cheese. Finally, I put the burgers on buttery Brioche buns and add a juicy tomato slice. All together, this creates a fantastic burger dinner.
The Equipment I Used
- A Cast Iron Skillet- In my opinion, a cast iron skillet makes the best burgers.
The Ingredients Needed for Whiskey Glazed Burgers Topped with Irish Cheddar
- Ketchup- I use this for the Whiskey Glaze. I like Heinz Organic ketchup.
- Irish Whiskey- You can also use brandy.
- Dijon Mustard- I like Grey Poupon Country Dijon Mustard.
- Buns- Brioche buns are my favorite.
- Ground Beef- I always use ground chuck, since it’s more tender.
- Irish Cheddar- Any cheddar imported from Ireland works here.
- Bacon- I like Niman Ranch bacon.
How I Made my Burgers
- First, I mixed together the Irish Whiskey Glaze. This is very simple, you just need to stir together the ingredients.
- Next, I got my cast iron skillet nice and hot.
- Then, I made sure to salt and pepper my meat before forming it into patties.
- Next, I cooked the burgers until they were quite well done. Since, that’s the way my family likes them.
- At the same time, I cooked my bacon.
- Then, I topped each burger with some of the glaze and some of the cheese.
- Finally, I put each burger on a buttery bun.
I am so excited to serve these Whiskey Glazed Burgers Topped with Irish Cheddar Cheese. They are really going to make our St. Patrick’s Day so much fun.
