Beer and Pretzel Burgers

There are so many combinations of burgers out there and so many to try at home, it’s nearly impossible to get bored eating burgers!

My husband likes craft beer, I like craft beer, so we are always sampling different local varieties of beer. Beer goes with pretzels and mustard. Our beer and pretzel burger combines all these ingredients and more making them extremely flavourful!

Here’s what you need to plan on when making these burgers.

Burger Ingredients

Ground Beef Burger – go with an 80/20 blend if you can find it to ensure there is a little fat in the burgers.

Beer – choose a beer with flavour, light beer offers nothing in these burgers.

Pretzels – smaller is easier for crushing and retaining some texture.

Mustard – we use plain every day yellow mustard, however use whatever you have on hand.

Pizza Sauce – any will do!

Seasonings – coarse salt, fresh ground black pepper.

Buns – choose your favourite burger buns. Pretzel buns are delicious too!

Cheese – sometimes we like an old cheddar, gouda or smoked cheese, other times we go for something a little spicer.

PRO TIPS:

Our favorite toppings on this burger include pickles, crispy prosciutto, sliced tomato, mustard, monterey jack cheese, avocado, sliced cheese and sometimes a queso cheese sauce.
Before we put the burgers on the grill or in the pan, we season again with salt and pepper.
If you use a strong beer, it will affect the flavour. Try to find a beer not to hoppy, not to strong and not to light. Pick one you love and go from there.
