Sweet Bourbon Cheddar Burgers
with Potato Wedges & Garlic Aioli
- Milk
- Eggs
- Wheat
- Soy
We love an artisanal spin, and this burger seasoned with a smoky and savory-sweet bourbon spice rub elevates a classic to bold new heights. Melt cheddar over those juicy seared patties, then layer with tomato, ketchup, and garlic aioli between toasted buns, and serve with oven-roasted potato wedges and even more garlic aioli for dipping.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into 1⁄2-inch-thick wedges. • Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.
• While potatoes cook, peel and mince or grate garlic. Thinly slice tomato into rounds. • In a small bowl, combine garlic and mayonnaise. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine beef* and Brown Sugar Bourbon Seasoning. • Form mixture into two patties (four patties for 4 servings), each slightly wider than a burger bun.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side. • In the last minute of cooking, top patties with cheddar; cover pan to melt.
• While patties cook, halve buns and toast until golden. • Spread cut sides of bottom buns with as much garlic aioli as you like. Spread a thin layer of ketchup onto cut sides of top buns. Fill with patties and tomato.
• Divide burgers and potato wedges between plates. Serve with any remaining garlic aioli on the side for dipping.
Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was a great "easy to cook" meal for a Friday night. The hamburger was so juicy and we loved the garlic aioli, cheese, ketchup and tomatoes for toppings. The buns were nicely toasted on the outside and soft on the inside. We needed 2 napkins!! And we LOVE these potato wedges- so easy- baked in the oven!
We thought the switch up with the bourbon and brown sugar would be a little sweet as far as the meat but it was not. It was still delicious! We also love the gooey cheddar cheese and the fresh tomatoes to slice on top of our burgers. Very fresh!
Love the simplicity of burger night. No muss, no fuss, very little clean up. The burgers were tender and juicy; the roasted potato wedges were amazing! I'm a burger lover and will travel hours to find a good burger; why do that when you can make a 5 star burger at home? Seriously delish!
This recipe will make me seek out this seasoning. It made a divine burger and all the flavors in the recipe were perfect together. Genuinely the best burgers we've had in ages.
These are awesome! I wasn't thrilled with the aioli (garlic) but I did learn how to smack that little clove of garlic with a wide blade knife. The brown sugar bourbon seasoning was perfect! By the way, who supplies your meat? It is exceptional. All for now I have the other burger for lunch.
Loved this and that sweet bourbon spice mix is awesome! I felt like it needed more toppings though. I added onions and lettuce. Would have been really good with bacon!
Loved the flavors. The burger recipes are always our favorite, they come out so juicy and are easy to make. Few ingredients and still delicious.
So the burger is AMAZING tasting for this recipe but every burger recipe I've tried from you guys that has fries/potato wedges, I follow them perfectly and the potato wedges come out very soft and undercooked. I think if they are cut thinner and or lower temp and closer to the top they would get more crisp so I will follow my own way for them cause maybe it's my oven (I use a nu wave mini oven which cooks things great).
I'm learning some cooking combos and techniques that are easy to replicate. When the grandkids come over, we do sliders with the sweet bourbon seasoning.
Yum! All I can say hahaha. Only thing I wasn't a fan of was the ketchup left made the burger too sweet. I left it off the second burger and it was perfect.
