  • Serves: 8 Burgers

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!
