  2. If preparing burger meat at home, using a meat cleaver, coarsely chop the chuck roast.
  3. Then, form beef into patties, about 3-4 and season with salt, pepper, granulated garlic and onion.
  4. Cook in a cast iron skillet for 3 minutes on each side, until internal temperature is at least 145 degrees F (for medium-rare).
  5. Then, top with your slices of Irish Cheddar and let it melt in the pan.
  6. Remove burgers and top with lettuce and BBQ sauce on a potato bun. Serve alongside salted Irish potatoes!
Irish Stout BBQ Sauce

  2. Slowly add potatoes and then cover.
  3. Boil for at least 20 minutes but up to 30, depending on size of potatoes.
