This Delicious Irish Pub Burger delivers bold, pub-style flavor with juicy beef patties, caramelized onions, sharp cheddar cheese, and a creamy mustard sauce. Perfect for game day, summer grilling, or casual dinners, this easy homemade burger recipe adds an Irish twist to your favorite comfort food.
1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
1 large onion, sliced
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
4 burger buns (preferably brioche)
Butter (for toasting buns)
Sauté the Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, cook sliced onions until caramelized, about 10–15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Prepare the Patties: In a bowl, mix ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties.
Cook the Burgers: Heat a grill or skillet to medium-high. Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side (or to desired doneness). Top with cheddar in the last minute to melt.
Make the Sauce: Mix sour cream, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Toast the Buns: Melt butter in a pan and toast buns until golden brown.
Assemble: Place a patty on each bun, top with caramelized onions, mustard sauce, and finish with the top bun.
Serve: Serve hot with fries or chips.
Use lamb instead of beef for a richer flavor.
Add jalapeños or pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick.
Store leftover patties and toppings separately for easy reheating.
Make the sauce a day ahead to let the flavors meld.
