In the early '70s a cook named Bob Detweiler got tired of making just burgers, so he made up this recipe (his wife, Julie, the manager[, suggested the cheese topping). It became an instant hit, and they've had it on the menu ever since.] Ingredients:
1/3 cup drained, sliced canned whole green chiles |
1/3 cup sliced pitted oil-cured black olives |
1/3 cup sliced sauteed cremini mushrooms |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
4 james beard's favorite hamburger patties, recipe follows |
4 slices onion |
1/4 cup beer, plus more as needed |
4 slices cheddar cheese |
4 toasted hamburger buns |

2 pounds chopped beef chuck or round |
1 onion |
1 tablespoon heavy cream |
freshly ground black pepper, to taste |
unsalted butter |
vegetable oil, as needed |

Directions:
