Ingredients
for the burger patties
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove crushed
- 1 lb (500g) ground beef
- large handful fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 egg beaten
- 1-2 teaspoons salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
for the cheeseburgers
- 4 lices American/Processed cheese
- 8 lices Bacon cooked to your preference
- fresh lettuce
- ripe tomatoes sliced
- 4 tsp mayonnaise
- 4 butter-toasted bread rolls
Instructions
- Fry the onion in a large frying pan in a splash of olive oil until golden brown. Add the garlic and fry for another 30 seconds then remove from the heat. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Mix the cooled onions with the beef, parsley, breadcrumbs, egg, salt and pepper. To test the seasoning, fry a teaspoon-full of the mixture in the pan you cooked the onions in. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Divide the mixture into 5-6 (depending on how you big you want the patties), and form patties with wet hands.
- Place on a tray lined with baking paper and place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
- When the patties have rested, heat a large cast iron pan/griddle pan until hot then cook the burgers until charred and cooked to your preference. (You can also cook the burgers on a braai/barbecue.)
- Remove from the heat, top with the cheese and cover with foil for 2 minutes.
- Top the buns with a generous spoonful of mayo, lettuce, tomato, the patty with cheese and finally bacon.
- Serve immediately.
