Pumpernickel recipe #6 - Bavarian Burgers

INGREDIENTS:
• 1.5 lb. lean ground beef
• 1/2 cup pumpernickel bread crumbs
• 1 egg
• 3 Tbsp. beer (I suggest Czech Budweiser budvar)
• 1/2 tsp. caraway seed
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. pepper
• 1 Tbsp. prepared mustard
• 6 slices Vermont White Cheddar or Swiss cheese
• 6 pumpernickel sandwich buns
• 1/2 cup drained sauerkraut

PREPARATION:

Prepare and heat grill. Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, beer, caraway seed, salt, pepper, and mustard and mix gently. Shape into 6 patties.

Grill patties 10-15 minutes until meat is no longer pink in centre. Top each burger with cheese slice and let melt. Top with sauerkraut and serve on buns with mustard or other favorite condiments.
