Ingredients
- ½ lb ground corned beef
- 1 lb ground beef
- ¼ cup beef broth
- Dash of hot sauce
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
- 4 slices Irish cheddar cheese
- 4 whole wheat buns
- Yellow mustard
Instructions
Prepare the Patties
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground corned beef, ground beef, beef broth, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
Cook the Burgers
- Heat the Skillet: In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil.
- Cook the Patties: Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Rest: Remove from the skillet and let the patties rest on a plate.
Melt the Cheese
- Broil the Cheese: Preheat the broiler. Place each patty on a baking sheet, top with a slice of Irish cheddar, and broil for about 1-2 minutes until melted.
Assemble the Burgers
- Toast the Buns: Lightly toast the whole wheat buns under the broiler.
- Build the Burger: Spread yellow mustard on the bottom bun, place the cheesy patty on top, add sauerkraut, and cover with the top bun.
Notes
- For a Spicy Kick: Use spicy brown mustard or add sliced jalapeños.
- Alternative Cheese Options: Swap Irish cheddar for Swiss or aged white cheddar.
