how to make Indulgent Double Cheeseburger

Ingredients:

  • 800 grams Beef mince (ground beef), at least 20% fat
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Canola oil
  • 4 Soft burger buns or rolls (10cm / 4" diameter)
  • 4 slices Burger cheese slices (processed American recommended)
  • 4 leaves Cos/romaine lettuce leaves (torn)
  • 1 Tomato, sliced (~7mm / ¼” thick)
  • 1 Red onion, thinly sliced rings
  • 4 Large gherkins, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Special Burger Sauce (creamy, orangey-pink)
  • 1/2 cup Tomato chutney for burgers
  • Ketchup and mustard (yellow American type)
  • 500 grams French fries (side dish)

Directions:

  1. Divide the beef mince into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion gently into a ball and flatten them into patties, about 12 cm (4.7”) wide and 1 cm (0.4”) thick. Make them slightly larger than your buns to account for shrinkage.
  2. Gather and arrange all your toppings and sauces—lettuce, tomato, onions, gherkins, and both the Special Burger Sauce and tomato chutney—so they’re ready for assembly.
  3. Preheat your grill or BBQ to high. Place the buns cut-side up on a tray and toast for about 3–5 minutes until they are light golden brown.
  4. Just before cooking, sprinkle salt and pepper generously on one side of each patty. Flip them over, press a dent in the center of each patty to prevent doming, and season the other side as well.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until it’s smoking. Cook 4 patties at a time for 1.5 minutes, pressing lightly with a spatula. Flip the patties, add a slice of cheese on each, and cook for another 1.5 minutes until the cheese is melted. Let the patties rest for 3 minutes afterward.
  6. Alternatively, if using a BBQ, cook each side of the patties for about 1.5 minutes, adding cheese after flipping. Toast the buns cut-side down for 2–3 minutes.
  7. Spread the Special Burger Sauce on the bottom bun. Layer with lettuce, a slice of tomato, one or two patties, gherkins, red onion, and finish with a drizzle of sauce on the lid bun. Close up your burger and enjoy alongside those delicious fries!

how to serve Indulgent Double Cheeseburger

Serve these tasty burgers hot with a side of crispy French fries. You can also add extra condiments like ketchup and mustard to suit your taste.

how to store Indulgent Double Cheeseburger

If you have leftover patties, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply use a skillet or microwave until warmed through. It’s best to store the assembled burgers separately to keep the buns from getting soggy.

tips to make Indulgent Double Cheeseburger

FAQs

1. Can I use lean beef instead of fatty mince?
Using lean beef will make drier patties. For the best flavor and juiciness, choose beef with at least 20% fat.

2. What if I don’t have a grill?
You can easily cook these burgers on a stovetop in a skillet or frying pan. Just make sure to use high heat.

3. Can I make the patties ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the patties and keep them in the refrigerator for a day or two before cooking. Just make sure to separate them with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
