23rd January – Homemade bacon and cheeseburger with fries and salad

Ingredients:

  • 700g Beef mince (this made 2 burgers and a ten meat balls)
  • 1 x onion (sliced)
  • A few rashers of bacon
  • Sliced cheese
  • American style fries
  • 1 teaspoon of Thyme
  • 1 teaspoon of Basil
  • 2 x eggs (whisked)
  • Sliced tomato
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Salt n pepper

Preheat the oven to cook the fries.  Combine the beef mince, thyme, basil, whisked eggs and a little salt and pepper in a bowl and mix until it comes together into a ball.  Tear off chunks of the mix and make into burger sized patties (I also made meatballs for the following night as I was going out, so needed something quick to prepare).  Put the chips into the oven.

Heat up a pan, add a little oil and cook the burgers, turning occasionally.  After a couple of minutes of cooking put the bacon and the onions into the same pan to cook.  Keep an eye on the chips.  You can put the bread bun into the oven to crispen a little whilst the rest of the cooking is happening.  Near the end, add on a slice or two of cheese onto the burger and allow to melt.

Once everything is done you can plate up!  Place the bread bun (sliced in half) onto a plate and on one side place the burger along with the bacon and some onions.  On the other stack up some lettuce leaves and sliced tomato.  Add the fries to the side, combine the two halves of the burger and enjoy!
