Beer and steak sauce are the secret to this juicy and flavorful burger.

Ingredients

  • 1- 1/2 lbs ground beef
  • 1/4 cup beer
  • 1/4 cup prepared steak sauce
  • 4 slices sweet onion (1/2-inch)
  • 4 slices (1 ounce each) Swiss cheese
  • 4 crusty rolls, split
  • Lettuce leaves

Directions

  • Combine beer and steak sauce in 1-cup glass measure. Cover and microwave on HIGH 1 to 1-1/2 minutes or until bubbly.
  • Lightly shape ground beef into four 3/4-inch thick patties. Place patties in center of grid over medium, ash-covered coals; arrange onion around patties. Grill, uncovered, 13 to 15 minutes to medium (160°F) doneness, until patties are not pink in center and juices show no pink color and onions are tender, turning occasionally. Season with salt after turning. About 2 minutes before patties are done, brush generously with sauce; top with cheese.
  • Serve burgers and onions in rolls with lettuce and sauce.
