Ingredients

Pattie Ingredients

500 gram beef mince the fattier the better.
½ tsp salt
½ teaspoon cracked pepper
1 tablespoon onion flakes
1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking the burgers
6 slices gouda cheese or similar

Toppings

24 slices burger pickles
½ white onion finely chopped
6 tablespoon tomato sauce
3 tablespoon American mustard
6 brioche buns

Instructions

Place the mince, salt, pepper and onion flakes into a bowl and use your hands or a large spoon to mix well until combined.
Divide into six portions and shape the patties with your hands. Place on a plate and set aside until needed.
Add a tablespoon of olive oil to your frying pan and place over a medium heat.
Place 3 patties (this number will vary depending on the size of your pan) into the frying pan and cook for 3 - 4 minutes. You want a crust to start forming on the cooked side of your burger pattie.
Carefully flip the patties and cook for a further minute.
Tear the cheese slice in half and add it to the top of the pattie. Cook for a further minute or until the cheese is melted.
Transfer the cooked burger patties to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the rest of your ingredients.
Place the cooked burger on the bottom piece of a brioche bun which has been cut in half. Add ⅙th of the onion, 4 slices of pickles and approximately ½ tablespoon mustard and 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce.
Top the with the bun and serve.

Thermomix Instructions

Place the mince, salt, pepper and onion flakes into your Thermomix bowl and mix for 10 seconds, speed 4, REVERSE. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix for a further 5 seconds, speed 4, REVERSE or until combined. Follow conventional instructions above from step 2.

Notes

For Juicy Burger Patties I recommend:

Using a 'fatty' mince as this helps to keep the burgers juicy and full of flavour. You don't want lean mince for this recipe.
Ensure you shape your patties well before cooking as you don't want to press down on them while cooking, they will lose their juices and can dry out.
Flip your patties only once, again this helps them stay juicy.

Making the Cheeseburgers:

You can find 'Burger Pickle Slices' in a jar at your local supermarket. They will generally be in the aisle with other tinned/jar vegetables. Alternatively, you can use whole dill pickles and slice into pieces.
I like to use Gouda Cheese when making these burgers, however you can also use tasty/cheddar cheese slices.
This recipe can also be made using regular bread rolls, however I do find the brioche rolls help to give these burgers a more authentic feel.
This recipe will make approximately six burgers and is enough to feed our family of 2 adults and 3 young children. You can also make the burger patties larger and divide into 4 patties rather than 6 if you wish. You can also double this recipe if you are feeding a crowd.
