Beef Burgers with Caramelised Onions

Prep: 20 mins  ||  Cook: 30 mins  ||  Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

2 red onions, thickly sliced

2 tbsp caster sugar

2 tbsp red wine vinegar

500g beef mince (3 star = extra flavour!)

4 slices tasty cheddar

4 bacon rashers, trimmed

4 Brioche Burger Buns, split and toasted

4 oak lettuce leaves

1 tomato, thickly sliced

Paprika mayo

1/4 cup (75g) whole-egg mayonnaise

2 tbsp reduced-fat sour cream

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp smoked paprika

METHOD

Heat a barbecue flat plate or large frying pan on medium-low. Cook the onion, turning occasionally, for 15 mins or until very tender. Sprinkle with sugar and vinegar. Cook, turning occasionally, for 5 mins or until the onion caramelises. Transfer to a bowl.

Generously season the mince with salt and pepper. Heat a barbecue grill or chargrill on medium-high. Cook burgers for 4-5 mins each side or until cooked through. Top the burgers with cheddar slices and cook, without turning, for 1 min or until cheddar melts. Transfer to a plate.

Meanwhile, cook the bacon on the grill for 1 min each side or until crisp.

To make the paprika mayo, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice and paprika in a small bowl. Season.

Assemble the burgers to your liking and dive in!
