What you will need to make this recipe
- 85% ground chuck – half a pound per person per the menu description
- Irish cheddar cheese – I went with regular sharp cheddar because that is all that was available
- Grilled onions – thinly sliced yellow onion
- Irish Whiskey aioli – Jameson mixed with mayonnaise and garlic, nice and simple
- Irish rashers, aka thick cut bacon – again, I live in the desert not Europe
- Hamburger bun of your choice – I used pretzel buns because they looked really pretty
How to make Irish Pub Burgers with Whiskey Aioli
To make the whiskey aioli:
Mix mayonnaise, whiskey, garlic, salt, pepper and paprika together in a small bowl.
Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
To caramelize the onions:
Heat one Tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally until golden brown…about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
To make the burgers:
Form ground beef into patties and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook over medium heat until no pink remains. Place cheese on top of burgers and allow to melt.
To assemble the burgers:
Place a cheeseburger patty on the bottom bun. Add the bacon and grilled onions. Drizzle with the whiskey aioli and top with bun.
