Serves: 4
🛒 Ingredients
500g lean beef mince
1 white onion, finely diced
1 Roma tomato, sliced
½ small iceberg lettuce, shredded

4 slices light cheese
4 tbsp burger sauce

1️⃣ Make the patties: Divide the beef mince into 4 portions. Season with salt and pepper, then shape each portion into a ball and flatten into a thin patty.
2️⃣ Cook the patties: Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 1–2 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
3️⃣ Toast the buns: Carefully slice each burger bun into three layers. Lightly toast the bun layers in a dry frying pan or under the grill.
4️⃣ Build the first layer: Spread burger sauce over the bottom bun layer. Add diced onion, shredded lettuce, a slice of cheese, a beef patty and pickles.
5️⃣ Add the middle layer: Place the middle bun layer on top, then add more burger sauce, onion, lettuce, pickles and the second beef patty.
6️⃣ Finish it off: Top with the remaining bun layer and serve immediately. 🍔
