BURGERS:
-
1/2 pound ground beef
-
1/2 pound uncooked bratwurst links, casings removed
-
1 large egg, lightly beaten
-
1 tablespoon 2% milk

3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs

8 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
Directions
-
1.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and peppers; cook and stir 5 minutes. Stir in beer. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until vegetables are tender and liquid is almost evaporated, 15-20 minutes. Remove and keep warm.

2.
In a small bowl, combine beef and bratwurst, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 3/4-in.-thick patties.

3.
In a shallow bowl, mix egg and milk. Place bread crumbs in a separate shallow bowl. Dip patties into egg mixture, then roll in crumb mixture to coat.

4.
In the same skillet over medium heat, cook burgers until a thermometer reads 160° for medium doneness and juices run clear, 3-4 minutes on each side; top with cheese during the last 1-2 minutes of cooking. Serve burgers on buns with mustard and onion mixture.
