THE ULTIMATE CHEESEBURGER

These burgers are mouth watering and should be served fresh - with the cheese still melting on top of the meat.

PREP: 4 min
COOK: 14 min
Serves 3-4
Recommended Price: £5-£8

Ingredients

• 500 g (1lb 2oz) pack 20% fat beef mince
• 1 medium egg
• 50 g (2oz) fresh breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
• 75 g (3oz) grated Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese
• Olive oil, to brush
• Butter and rosemary for the buns
  

Ingredients

• 4 seeded burger buns, toasted
• Baby Gem lettuce, leaves separated, optional
• Tomato slices, optional
• ​Cheese slices, optional
  
• Crispy streaky bacon, optional

Method

1. To make the burgers, mix the mince, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce and some seasoning. Divide into 4 portions. Working one at a time, flatten in your hand, stuff with ¼ of the cheese, and reshape into a patty about 2.5cm (1in) thick (sealing in the cheese). Cover and chill for 30min to firm up.
2. Alternatively, buy pre-made burger patty's from Sainsbury.
   
3. Heat a large griddle pan/pan/barbecue over medium-high heat. Brush with oil and cook burgers for about 10min, turning halfway, until cooked through and the cheese has melted. Next, briefly toast the buns.
4. Serve burgers in the buns with sauce of your choice, lettuce, tomatoes and crispy bacon, if you like.
