Ingredients

Burger: Vegetable oil, small onion (chopped), 500g minced chuck steak or mince, small handful of breadcrumbs, dash of chopped parsley, salt, pepper.  

Plus: Cheddar cheese, 4 buns (cut in half), bacon, salad leaves, tomato (sliced), red onion (sliced)

Instructions

To make your burger: Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the onion until soft. Leave to cool. Patience, pal. In a bowl mix together the onion, beef, breadcrumbs, parsley and seasoning. Divide into four burger shaped patties and keep them in the fridge until you need them.

When you’re hungry: Heat a frying pan and slide in the patties. Cook for a few minutes before turning them over and topping with a thick slice of cheese. Cook to your preference before putting to one side. Wipe the pan clean. Grab your buns and toast in the hot pan.

When you're ready to eat: Put your cheese-topped burger in the bun before adding bacon, leaves, tomato and onion. Serve with salty fries for a full-on feast. Add a splodge of ketchup and you’ll be laughing.
