I may have said this before but I’m always looking for some inspiration. I rarely duplicate recipes that I come across (unless I’m trying to give a fair opinion of someone else’s recipe). I was watching 30 Minute Meals, by far not one of my favorite cooking shows, and one of the recipes was a burger with beer and smoked Gouda cheese chunked and incorporated into the meat. And, I thought to myself, BEER! I like beer with burgers, why not in burgers?! GENIUS! Long story short, I put half a bottle of beer in 2 lbs of ground beef and the usual burger ingredients and….Not bad. I don’t have a recipe to post because I have to perfect the recipe a little more. But, I thought the BEER concept (and the smoked Gouda, yum) were worth mentioning. Fool around with it, it’s worth it! Plus it’s a good reason to buy beer if you don’t already have some. I used MGD (Miller Genuine Draft) because that’s what I had on had but I’m picking up some Sam Adams and am going to try a lager next time.
