Texas Beer Cheese Sauce
Preparation
Preheat gas or charcoal grill to 400°F. The fire should be quite hot; you should barely be able to hold your hand 3-4 inches over the grates. After the coals are gray, spray grates with cooking spray or brush with oil to help keep burgers from sticking. Shape into eight ¾-inch thick patties. Season each side with salt and pepper. Make a small indention in the center of the burger with your thumb.
Place burgers on oiled grates and grill for approximately 4 minutes per side for rare, and another minute per side for each increasing stage of doneness.
Drizzle each side of onion slices with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Grill 5-7 minutes on each side or until onion is tender and has caramelized.
Place burgers in buns and add grilled onion slice, lettuce and tomato. Drizzle 2 Tbsp. Beer Cheese Sauce on each burger. Evenly top with pickled jalapeno peppers.
Texas Beer Cheese Sauce
Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring until the mixture begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the beer until smooth. Reduce the heat; cook until the foaming begins to subside and the mixture begins to reduce, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the half and half and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in cheeses stirring until completely melted. Keep warm until ready to use.
