Homemade Cheese Burgers

Step 1

• Heat together the oil and butter in a large frying or sauté pan set over a medium heat.

Step 2

• Add the onions and a little salt, allowing them to sweat for 10-12 minutes until softened.

Step 3

• Stir in the sugar and balsamic vinegar and continue to cook over a reduced heat for a further 15-20 minutes until dark and glossy in appearance; stir from time to time to prevent burning.

Step 4

• Preheat a grill or barbecue to a high setting.

Step 5

• Scrunch together the beef mince with plenty of seasoning in a large mixing bowl; cover and chill for 10 minutes.

Step 6

• Divide the mince into four balls before shaping into thin patties between your palms; press your thumb lightly into their centres to leave an imprint.

Step 7

• Grill the burgers for 2-3 minutes on both sides until cooked and juicy; cook the burgers for an additional minute on both sides should you wish for a more well-done burger.

Step 8

• Toast the buns if desired before topping with shredded lettuce, a slice of tomato and a cooked patty.

Step 9

• Top with slices of Lactofree® Cheese and some stewed onions before serving.

ENJOY !
