The Ultimate Hungry Burger
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs. ground beef 15-20% fat
- 1/4 lbs. cheddar cheese sliced
- 5 slices bacon
- 1 lettuce
- 5 burger buns
- 2 to matoes slice
- 1 red oinion sliced & separated into rings
- ketchup
- mustard
Instructions
The Prep
- Very gently divide the beef into 5 pieces.
- Roll each piece in your hands until the mixture stays together in a ball.
The Cook
- Cook your bacon until crisp, set to one side and wipe the pan clean of bacon fat.
- Heat your grill/pan until it is smoking.
- Place the ball of meat in the pan and squash it down immediately with a flat metal kitchen utensil (I use the back of my hand).
- Using your finger, make a small dimple in the middle. This stops it from swelling in the middle when it is cooked.
- Season with salt & pepper. Cook on one side for a couple of minutes or until it is golden brown/charred on one side.
- Flip the burger and cook for a similar time of the other side or until it is right for you (I prefer rare to medium).
- Add a couple of slices of the cheddar cheese. They should be melted by the time the burger is cooked.
- While cooking the second side, slice your bun/s and heat each side in the same pan as the burger.
The Build
- Lay some lettuce, tomato and onion on the bottom bun. Place the burger and slice of bacon on top.
- Spread some ketchup and/or mustard on the top bun.
- Get stuck in!

The Cheesy Italian Burger
This is a really great tasting burger. Gorgonzola with balsamic caramelized onions and pears on a juicy beef patty gives you a proper rich burger.
