Ingredients

  • 600 g beef mince
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Olive oil spray
  • 6 hamburger buns
  • 6 slices burger cheese or cheddar cheese
  • Cos lettuce leaves separated
  • Tomato sliced
  • Red onion sliced
  • Pickles

Burger sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon chopped gherkins
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  • To make the burger patties, season mince with salt and pepper and mix to combine. Divide into six portions and form into patties.
  • Spray olive oil over a grill pan or barbeque set to high heat. Add patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side before flipping.
  • Once flipped, add a slice of cheese to each patty. Cook for a further three minutes until cheese has melted. Remove from heat.
  • Slice bread rolls in half and place both halves, cut side down, on to grill or barbeque until toasty.
  • To make the sauce, whisk all ingredients together.
  • To assemble, place a spoonful of burger sauce on the bottom half of the burger bun. Top with lettuce, followed by beef patty with cheese, sliced tomato, red onion and pickles.
  • Add an additional spoonful of dressing to the top half of the burger bun and place on top. You're ready to serve!

Notes

  • I used regular burger buns for this recipe however brioche buns will also work.
  • I have not included any ingredient amounts for the salads - you can put as much or as little on as you'd like.
