Instructions
1
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté, stirring frequently until they are tender and translucent, about 5-6 minutes.
2
Pour in 3/4 cup of beer, then add the sugar and salt. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beer has been absorbed and the onions start to turn golden brown, approximately 18 minutes.
3
Add the remaining 1/4 cup of beer to the onions and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Keep the onions warm over low heat until you're ready to serve.
4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck with 2 tablespoons beer, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly, being careful not to overwork the meat.
5
Form the mixture into 4 equally sized patties, handling gently to ensure they remain moist and tender.
6
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties until they reach your preferred level of doneness, usually about 4-5 minutes per side for medium.
7
While the patties are cooking, place the buns on the grill until they are toasted and golden.
8
To assemble, place each burger on a toasted bun, top with a slice of cheese, spoon generous amounts of the beer-braised onions on top, and add ketchup if desired.
