Ingredients

1 pound Chuck Or Ground Lean Beef
1 Tablespoon Grated Vidalia Onion
1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
2 Tablespoons Bourbon (I Used Woodford Reserve)
4 slices Monterey Jack Cheese
4 whole Pretzel Rolls, Cut In Half Sandwich Style
4 slices Tomato
1 cup Torn Lettuce

Directions

1

Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over medium-heat.
2

In a large bowl, mix together the beef, onion, garlic, salt, pepper and bourbon. Form the mixture into 4 patties each about 3/4 inch thick.
3

Put the patties onto the grill and grill over medium-heat turning once, roughly 5-7 minutes per side. Check for done-ness by cutting a hamburger near the center or testing with a instant-read thermometer. No pink should show on the inside and the internal temperature should read at least 160 F on the thermometer. With 3 minutes of cook time remaining add a slice of cheese on top of each patty and toast the pretzel rolls cut side down on the grill.
4

Serve the hamburgers on the buns with tomato, lettuce and whatever other condiments you desire.
