Have you seen the tasty images of the Beer Can Burgers all over Facebook? You know what we're talking about; the big juicy patties hollowed out in the middle (with the help of a beer can!), and filled with all kinds of vegetables, and then wrapped in bacon? Yep, wipe the drool off your screen- we're right there with you. The Arkansas Test Kitchen breaks these tasty bites of heaven down for you.
Beer Can Burgers
3 lbs. ground beef (we used 80/20)
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Onion power (to taste)
Bacon (because bacon makes everything taste better)
Sautéed onion (one medium sized onion)
Sautéed bell pepper (one medium sized pepper)
Shredded cheese
1. Preheat grill
2. Season your ground beef with the salt, pepper and onion powder
3. Use ½ lb of ground beef and mold around a cold beer can (make sure the can is cold, so the meat doesn't stick to it).
4. Before removing the can from the beef, wrap the ground beef with bacon
5. Remove the can and fill the hole with cheese, sautéed onion and peppers, and top with additional cheese
6. Place on a pre-oiled grill (we recommend having a cool spot on the grill- with the bacon and hamburger grease, there is a chance of flare ups).
7. Cook burgers until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees
Now that grilling season has officially kicked off, you have a great excuse to try these thick, indulgent, juicy burgers.
Stay Cool,
