Juicy Lucy burger
- Preparation and cooking time
- Total time
- Easy
- Makes 4
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.
