Recipe – Four Cheese Cheeseburger

Ingredients

  • For the Burger Patties
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 500 g good quality beef mince
  • 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tsp salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • For the Burgers and Sauce
  • 8 rashers bacon
  • 1/4 cup plain flour
  • 50g butter
  • 3 cups milk
  • 75g strong blue cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 large lettuce leaves
  • 4 burger rolls, split and buttered

Directions:

Step 1 –Preheat the BBQ to medium heat – approximately 180°C. Set up the BBQ with a hotplate or BBQ safe frying pan and cook the onion in a little oil until it starts to turn golden. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, then remove from the BBQ and set aside to cool.

Step 2 – Place the onion and garlic together with the beef mince, parmesan cheese, paprika, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and mix until well combined.

Step 3 – Form the mince mixture into 4 patties with wet hands, place on a tray and refrigerate for at least half an hour. Meanwhile, cook the bacon on the BBQ to your liking and set aside.

Step 4 – Make the cheese sauce by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture bubbles. Gradually stir in milk and stir until the sauce thickens, then add the blue and mozzarella cheeses. Stir until melted then set aside.

Step 5 – Cook the burger patties on the hotplate until the outside is charred and the inside is cooked to your liking. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each pattie to melt.

Step 6 – Remove the patties and cheese from the BBQ and set aside, covered loosely with foil. Place the burger rolls cut side down onto the hotplate to toast slightly.

Step 7 – Assemble your burgers with lettuce, pattie and cheese, bacon and cheese sauce. Serve immediately.
