#Chefathome
In celebration of national Cheeseburger day (coming up September 18th), I thought it only fair to post my world famous (in my head) cheeseburger recipe. I do promise it will challenge conventional wisdom but deliver on flavour. It will be your go-to recipe.
Ingredients:
- 2lbs grass fed organic ground beef
- 1 medium white onion (chopped fine)
- 2 dill pickle (chopped fine)
- 120g of cooked chopped (small pieces) bacon
- 2 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce (they have GF versions if you need)
- 1/2 cup grated raw milk cheddar
- 1 Egg
- 6 Slices of raw milk cheddar to top the burger (because "too much cheese", said no-one ever!)
- 6 Burger buns (I personally like a brioche burger bun)
- Arugula or your favourite lettuce
- Sliced Tomato (optional)
Method:
- Preheat grill to 400F
- Mix the first 7 ingredients in a big bowl. Form in to 6 equal size (1/3rd lb) patties, and flatten just a little with an upside down plate.
- Put in the fridge until you're ready to BBQ (at least 15 minutes).
- Put burgers onto grill and use a burger press or flat heavy object to put onto the top of your burgers. This creates a "smashburger" effect and is great with our patty mix.
- Heat the buns at the last minute so they don't burn, and serve with your favourite mustard, and lettuce.
- Add sliced tomato, if you like.
I like British "chips" to serve alongside, but you can do yam fries, salads, slaw...whatever floats your boat.
Now eat. You deserve it. All that work...
