Succulent Double Bacon Cheese Burger

Serves 1

Ingredients

200g lean beef mince (5% fat or less)

1 spring onion (finely sliced)

1 tsp chilli paste

1 clove garlic (crushed)

Ground black pepper & sea salt (to taste)

2 bacon medallions

30g cheddar cheese

1/4 small onion (diced)

Lighter than light mayonnaise

1 X 60g wholemeal roll

Low calorie cooking spray

Method

1. Add the mince, spring onion, chilli, sea salt, pepper and garlic to a bowl, combine together well and shape into two patties.
2. Preheat your grill to high. Cook the burgers for approximately 5 minutes on each side or until cooked fully through.
3. Spray a frying pan with low calorie cooking spray. Fry the diced onions and bacon medallions until cooked.
4. When the burgers are fully cooked, top with cheese and return back under the grill until the cheese is nice and melted.
5. Assemble the burgers- spread mayonnaise on the bun, lay some of the fried onions on the bun, then the bacon followed by the burger. Repeat the process again before topping with a bun lid.

This burger is fantastic, I actually prefer it more than the local chipper and it is far healthier! I used a seeded thin as a burger bun and served my burger with massive salad on the side. I used just mayonnaise on my bun as I am not a massive fan of ketchup but feel free to use any sauces you like! You may have noticed I used 1 teaspoon of chilli paste in the recipe I like my burger spicy, if you aren't so keen on the heat reduced this amount.  

Happy cooking!
