2 pounds 80% lean ground beef

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup Kentucky bourbon

1 cup bread crumbs

4 to 8 hamburger buns

4 to 8 thin onion slices

Mix the ground chuck with the salt, pepper and garlic. Add the bourbon and bread crumbs and mix well. Separate the mixture into four to eight patties and refrigerate.

Start the grill, and when it is hot, place burgers on the grill. When blood begins to appear on the burgers, flip them and grill until done. Generally speaking, burgers should be cooked medium well, which means there will be a little pink inside the burger.

Place the burgers on buns and dress with onion slices and condiments
