Cheeseburgers in toasted sesame buns is an everyday meal that deserves to be done well.
Ingredients
- Good splash of olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1/2 onion, very finely chopped
- 650g lean beef mince
- Good splash of Worcestershire sauce
- 225g Cheddar, thinly sliced
- 4 sesame seed hamburger buns or crusty rolls, split
- Lettuce, sliced tomato and sliced red onion, to serve
Method
- 1. Heat a little oil in a frying pan, and cook the garlic and onion for 1-2 minutes until softened. Cool slightly, then put into a bowl with the mince, Worcestershire sauce and seasoning. Mix very well. Divide into 4 and shape into burgers. Chill for 30 minutes to firm up.
- 2. Barbecue the burgers directly over a medium heat for 12-16 minutes, turning once, until cooked. Top with cheese for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking time.
- 3. Toast the buns for 1-2 minutes. Layer the lettuce, burger, tomato and onion on the bun base. Top with the other bun half and serve with mustard.
