Description

Mix ground beef with dark beer, butter, serrano peppers, and top with spicy Monterey Jack cheese for these mouth-watering burgers.

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1/4 cup dark beer (such as Guinness®)
1 (6 inch) serrano pepper, diced
2 tablespoons butter, softened
4 slices Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno peppers

Directions

1 Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
2 Mix ground beef, beer, serrano pepper, and butter together in a bowl; form into 4 patties.
3 Cook the burgers on the preheated grill for 5 minutes. Flip and continue cooking for 3 minutes. Top each burger with 1 slice Monterey Jack cheese and cook until burgers are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 2 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
