Ingredients
Scale
For the Burger Patties:
- 1 pound ground corned beef
- 1/2 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For Serving:
- 4 slices Irish cheddar cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sauerkraut, drained
- 4 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing
- Lettuce leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Burger Patties: In a large bowl, combine the ground corned beef, ground beef, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. Gently mix until just combined. Form into 4 patties, about 3/4-inch thick.
- Cook the Patties: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of Irish cheddar cheese and cover to melt.
- Toast the Buns: Spread butter on the cut sides of the hamburger buns and toast lightly on the grill or in a skillet.
- Assemble the Burgers: Place lettuce leaves on the bottom bun (if using), top with a cooked patty, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing. Add the top bun and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding minced onion or chives to the burger patties.
- Feel free to swap Thousand Island dressing for spicy mustard if preferred.
