How to make chicago beer burgers:

Gently combine the first 5 ingredients thoroughly. Gently form into 4 (6 ounce) 1-inch thick burgers. Cover the burgers with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to several hours. Grill the burgers over medium grill or charcoal fire. Cook to the desired doneness, 3 to 4 minutes on each side for rare, 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium and 8 to 9 minutes for well done. Top burger with Beer-Braised Onions and cheese, allowing it to melt quickly. Place on toasted buns, cut side down, on grill. Serve burgers with lettuce and tomato and Mushroom-Beer Ketchup on the side.Beer-Braised Onions:1 Tbsp. unsalted butter1 large onion, thinly sliced3/4 c. beer1 tsp. sugar1/2 tsp. salt Mushroom-Beer Ketchup:1 Tbsp. butter1 small onion, chopped1/4 lb. sliced mushrooms1/3 c. each: beer and ketchup1 tsp. white vinegar1/2 tsp. each: sugar and salt Beer-Braised Onions: Melt butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat.
