DIRECTIONS

• Pre-heat oven to 375°F/190°C/170°C Fan.
• Assuming the beef has already been seasoned and formed into patties but them on a non-stick baking tray and cook on both sides for 10 mins each side, for a total of 20 mins.
• During the last 10 minutes fry the onions in a pan until they caramelise.
• If you like the bun toasted the put it in the oven for 5-6 mins.
• In a bowl, mix the ketchup and mayonnaise to create the “secret sauce”.
• The last 2 mins for the burgers add the slices of cheese to slightly melt. Keep an eye on them so they don't completely melt and remove them when ready.
• Build the burger by placing the bun and then adding all of the ingredients and sauce, topped with the beef patties and top of the bun.
• It's now ready to enjoy!
