You don't need to wait for July 4 to sink your teeth into this juicy, crispy, classic American cheese and bacon burger.
Each bite is bursting with sweet and savoury flavours - the crusty toasted buns give way to the fresh crunch of onion and tomatoes, followed by oozing cheese over fatty minced beef that's grilled to perfection.
Ingredients
Serves 6
- ½ kg fatty mince beef
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 6 burger buns
- 1 large onion (sliced)
- 12 slices of cheddar cheese
- 1 tomato (sliced)
- 12 slices of beef bacon
- 2 tbsp dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise.
Directions
1. Toast buns
- Brush the insides of the buns with butter and place them cut-side down on a hot pan or griddle until they're golden and crusty.
2. Make beef patties
- Add the Worcestershire sauce and fish sauce to the mince and gently mix through.
- Shape the patties and make indentations in the middle.
3. Cook patties
- Heat a non-stick skillet and melt the butter until it starts to brown.
- Cook the patties for two minutes on each side.
4. Assemble burger
- Mix the mustard with the mayonnaise and spread on the insides of the buns.
- Add the lettuce, slices of tomatoes, onions and then the burger patty, topped with melted cheese and a slice of crispy bacon.
- Top with another patty, another slice of cheese and more bacon before adding the top bun.
