DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER

On a Saturday night we stayed in and had date night at home. A classic winter Saturday night in, there was football on so we made a night of it. Heath made martinis and I made these burgers.

You would easily make these into 4 burgers and invite some friends over to enjoy them (but always ask them to bring something, you could outsource the buns for example) as upon reflection 2 X 125g patties in a burger is a lot. These burgers are just so simple and in taste, theres nothing fancy just all the good bits you want in a double cheesy.

Ingredients

500g of beef mince

2 slices of tomato

2 potatoes

4 leaves of cos lettuce

1 small onion sliced into rings

4 slices of cheese

Two burger buns

Mustard, pickles, tomato sauce

Method

Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius and chop up the potatoes in to thick wedge like fries

Coat with olive oil and a good pinch of salt and cook for 20 minutes before starting the burger buns

In a fry pan on a low heat and a little bit of olive oil slowly cook the onions until browned – if they are starting to burn add 2tsp of water to the pan to allow them to soften

Meanwhile mix your mince with tablespoons of salt and a tsp of pepper dividing the mixture into four patties by rolling them into a ball and the squashing them flat in between the palms of your hands

In the pan make four little mounds of the onion placing a beef patty on to each squishing them down hard

While they are cooking, slice the tomatoes and  butter the burger buns, place the buns in the oven for max 5 minutes.

Flip the burgers and add the cheese slices on to each patty. Cooking for 3 more minutes

Turn the pan off the heat and get ready to assemble your burgers with the tomato, lettuce, pickles, mustard, tomato sauce.

Serve with your fries.
