Instructions
- Pre-heat the grill for medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grate as needed.
- Meanwhile, Mix the cabbage, carrot, onion, dried cranberries, and apple in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and let rest a few moments. Whisk the mayo, vinegar, and brown sugar in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Pour over the cabbage mix and toss to coat. Let sit while preparing the burgers (or make ahead, cover with plastic wrap and set in fridge until ready to eat)
- To make the burgers, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Pour Worcestershire over top and mix with your hands. Form into 8 thin patties. Press a bit of the Aged Cheddar Cheese into 4 of the patties and top with the remaining for patties being sure to pinch the edges shut well.
- Toss the patties on the grill and cook about 4 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness. Toast the buns while you're at it.
- When ready to serve, spread the Dubliner over the top of the hot buns (it will melt a little with the warmth of the toasting) or directly onto the burgers. Arrange leaf lettuce on the bottom of each bun, top with a patty, bacon, a heaping pile of slaw, and the top bun.
- Serve and enjoy.
