Prepare all the toppings: thinly slice the onion, cook the bacon, and set aside the lambs lettuce and pickles.
2
Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the sliced onions until caramelized, stirring occasionally. Deglaze the skillet with 2 tbsp of beer, then set the onions aside.
3
Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C) and place a plate inside for 5 minutes. Turn off the oven and keep the door closed to keep the plate warm.
4
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions, shaping each into thin patties about 1 inch wider than the pretzel buns. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
5
Heat a grill pan over high heat and brush lightly with vegetable oil.
6
Place the patties in the pan and cook for about 90 seconds, or until juices release on top and edges start turning grey.
7
Flip the patties using a spatula, immediately top with a slice of Swiss cheese, and cover the pan with a lid. Cook for another 20-30 seconds.
8
Transfer the cooked patties to the warm plate in the oven.
9
Cut the pretzel buns in half and toast them, cut-side down, in the same grill pan for about 1 minute, or until lightly toasted.
10
Assemble each burger as follows: bottom bun, 1 ½ tbsp honey mustard sauce, ¼ cup lambs lettuce, cheese-topped patty, 2 bacon slices, caramelized onions, 4 pickles, another 1 ½ tbsp honey mustard sauce, and the top bun.

Serve the burgers immediately with your preferred side dishes like crispy fries or onion rings.
