Bacon Beer Cheese Burger (Print Format)

Smoky bacon, creamy beer cheese, and beef patties make these burgers savory and rich in every bite.

# Ingredients:

01 - 6 beef burger patties (e.g., BUBBA burgers)
02 - 6 burger buns
03 - 8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
04 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
05 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
06 - 3/4 cup whole milk
07 - 1/4 cup light beer
08 - 6 slices cooked and diced bacon
09 - Lettuce, tomato, and red onion (optional, for toppings)

# Steps:

01 - Prepare the burger patties according to the instructions on the package.
02 - Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of flour, whisking until the mixture is golden brown.
03 - Gradually whisk in the milk and light beer. Reduce the heat to low, stirring until fully combined.
04 - Slowly mix in the shredded Cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
05 - Add the diced bacon to the sauce and stir to combine. Adjust the consistency by adding more flour (1 tablespoon at a time) for a thicker sauce or more milk (1 tablespoon at a time) for a thinner sauce.
06 - Place a cooked burger patty on the bottom half of a bun. Add your desired toppings (e.g., lettuce, tomato, red onion), drizzle generously with the bacon beer cheese sauce, and top with the other half of the bun.
