Juicy Ball Park Burger with Onion Rings & Mustard Beer Sauce

For the burgers:
Preheat oven to 400 F. Place onion rings on a baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine beef, veal, Tabasco, salt and pepper. Form the mixture into four large patties.

Preheat a skillet to medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the patties and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes on the first side. Flip, and continue to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes adding the cheddar cheese slices to melt on top. Remove patties from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes.

To serve, take the bottom of the pretzel bun and smear some of the mustard sauce on the cut side. Top with a patty, a few onion rings and more mustard sauce. Place pretzel top over the onion rings and dig in!

For the mustard sauce:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. You may need to play with the salt consistency to make sure you don’t over salt. Add more beer if desired!
