Ale House Burgers with Red Onion Compote

So I have been told to post some more recipes, because everyone enjoyed the Asian Spare Ribs recipe. Here are some more of my favorites. The Burger Recipe is to die for. The burgers stay so moist.

Ale House Burgers with Red Onion Compote

Ingredients For Red Onion Compote:
1/2 cup water
1 1/4 cups beer
1/2 cup brown sugar (maybe only 1/4 cup)
2 red onions, sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Ingredients For Burgers:
3 pounds ground beef
1/4 cup beer
2 tablespoons grill seasoning
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar
Romaine lettuce
4 hamburger rolls, toasted

Directions For Red Onion Compote:
In a medium saucepan add 1/2 cup water, beer, brown sugar, and red onions. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally for about 1 hour or until the mixture has thickened and has reduced to about 2 cups. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool completely.

Directions For Burgers:
In a large bowl mix together the ground beef, beer and grill seasoning until well incorporated. Reserve half of the mixture for Round 2 Meatloaf recipe. Shape the remaining beef into 4 equal portions and flatten each portion. Place 2 tablespoons of cheese in the center of each and wrap the edges around the cheese to form a ball. Flatten each ball into patties. Place on platter and cover. Refrigerate if not cooking immediately.
Set up grill or indoor grill pan for direct cooking over medium-high heat. When ready to start grilling, oil the grate. Place patties on the hot oiled grill and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium. Serve over lettuce on toasted buns topped with red onion compote.
