Ingredients
- 2 Tip Top grill house seeded burger buns
- 400g Bacon
- 4 Brown onions
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 3 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1.6kg Course beef mince (20-30% fat)
- Flakey salt
- Olive Oil
- 16 Thin slices Swiss chesse
- 8 tbsp Mayo
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 8 tbsp Smokey bbq sauce
Method
- 1)
Dice bacon and add to a pan on high heat and cook until fat has rendered out and bacon is crispy. Add a knob of butter and 4 finely sliced brown onions and cook on medium heat and stir occasionally. Once the onions are nicely caramelised stir through 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar and 2 tablespoons of honey and set to one side to keep warm.
- 2)
To prepare the patties arrange the mince in a log over some baking paper so the grain of the mince is running the same way and wrap it tightly into a sausage so you can slice 8 even patties of approx 200g each. Press each patty down with a spatula until it’s slightly larger than the bun, sprinkle with Salt and rub with oil then place them onto a grill or hot pan. Cook for 4 mins on a high heat until crispy then flip them add some cheese and the onion and bacon mixture.
- 3)
Toast your Tip Top grill house burger buns and have the mayo with a tablespoon of Dijon mixed through ready to go.
- 4)
After 3 mins the patty should be still pink if you like it could through leave for 5 mins.
- 5)
Add some mustard mayo to the lid and some bbq sauce to the base then the patty.
- 6)
Close her up and you’re good to go!
