Hamburgers with Caramelised Onion Jam
The best hamburgers are made simply with beef, salt and pepper, but add in a little diced bacon and Caramelised Onion Jam and you take your burgers to another level!
INGREDIENTS
500g beef mince
2 slices bacon, finely diced
salt & pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
cheese of your choice
4 hamburger buns
lettuce
tomatoes, sliced
pickles
tomato sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
In a bowl combine the mince, bacon, salt and pepper, then split into 4 equal portions. Form into patties and place on a plate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Remove the patties from the fridge and use your fingers to make a dent in the centre of each. This helps keep their shape when cooking.
Add the oil to a large frypan over high heat, add the patties and cook for 2 minutes, without pressing down, until crispy. Flip over carefully, cook for 1 minute, top each with a slice of cheese and cook a further minute until cheese has melted and patties are cooked to your liking.
Layer each bun with caramelised onion jam, lettuce, tomato, burger pattie, pickles and tomato sauce, top with lid of bun and serve straight away.
