Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 slices mild cheddar cheese
  • 4 burger buns
  • 1 pack Johnsonville Original Brats
  • 1 whole white onion diced
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 12oz can of Pabst Blue Ribbon
  • Salt and Pepper + Three Chiles
  • neutral oil for the pan

Instructions

  • Heat a large sauce pan to medium high heat and coat with oil. Add the onions and season with your Salt and Pepper + Three Chiles. Cook until the onions are softened and begin to brown. Add your can of Pabst Blue Ribbon and your minced garlic and stir it in. Simmer for about 4 more minutes. Add your brats and let them braise for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle to medium high heat and coat with oil. Remove your brats from the onions and slice them in half. Cook them directly on the griddle for 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown, using a grill press to cook evenly. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • On the same skillet or griddle, toast your buns for a couple minutes and set aside.
  • Divide the beef into 4 burger patties. Place the burgers on the skillet or griddle coated with oil and season with your Salt and Pepper + Three Chiles on both sides. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side using a grill press to cook evenly. Cover with a cloche and cook for 1 more minute. Add your mild cheddar cheese and let it melt. Remove the patties from the heat and set aside.
  • Build your burgers on the bottom bun, adding your patty, your grilled onions, and the brats sliced in half, followed by the top bun.
