Ingredients

  • 500g beef mince
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 4 cheese slices
  • for frying oil
  • 1 little gem lettuce, shredded
  • 1 large tomato, sliced to serve
  • 4 burger buns, toasted
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • to serve sliced gherkin

Method

  • STEP 1

    Put the mince in a bowl and add a splash of Worcestershire sauce, the mustard, garlic salt and a good grind of pepper. Mix well with clean hands then divide into 4 balls.

  • STEP 2

    Take each ball, divide in two, then shape into thin patties. The easiest way to do this is to put the balls between clingfilm and use a pan to press into a flat patty. Make them bigger than your bun as they will shrink when you cook them.

  • STEP 3

    Cut a cheese slice into 4, then stack them in the middle of a patty. Put the other patty on top then pat down and pinch the edges so the cheese is completely enclosed. Repeat with the other burgers.

  • STEP 4

    Heat a large, non-stick frying pan. Oil and season the burgers then add to the pan and fry for 4 minutes each side.

  • STEP 5

    Put some lettuce and tomato on the base of each bun. Sit the burgers on top, then add onion and gherkins to finish.
