Description
Try this all time American classic, which is so much tastier when you make it yourself. Elvis would have loved to get his hands on this recipe!
Ingredients
450g/1lb minced beef
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp American mustard
110g/4oz Monteray Jack cheese or strong cheddar, grated
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
1 tbsp coarsely ground black pepper
4 slices of crispy cooked streaky bacon
1 baby gem lettuce
2 tomatoes, sliced
1 small red onion, sliced into rings
4 burger buns
Method
1. Mix the beef with the garlic and mustard.
2. Mix the cheese with the chives and set aside.
3. Divide the beef into four and form into burger shapes. Make a deep indentation into each of the burgers and place a spoonful of cheese into the indentation. Shape the beef around the cheese until it is totally sealed. Sprinkle a little pepper over each burger and place in the fridge until ready to cook.
4. Cook the burgers in a pan or under the grill, for 4 minutes each side for rare, 6 minutes for medium and 8-9 minutes for well done.
5. Toast the burger buns on the cut-side. Load the buns with the burger, top with the bacon, tomatoes, lettuce and sliced onion and serve with fries.
