Equipment

  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • 1 small saucepan
  • 1 Baking tray
  • 1 wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

For the beef burgers

  • 800 g Beef Mince 10% Fat
  • A splash Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to season

For the barbecue sauce

  • 1 tbsp Tomato puree
  • 200 g Passata
  • 80 g GEM dark muscovado sugar
  • A shake Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
  • Season with a little salt and pepper

To serve

  • 4 burger buns
  • 4 slices smoked or plain cheese
  • 1 head Iceberg lettuce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees/160 degrees fan/gas mark 4.
  • Add the beef mince, garlic powder, onion powder and Worcestershire sauce to the bowl. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper to season.
  • Get your (clean!) hands into the bowl and give everything a good mix.
  • Decide whether you want to make 4 larger or 8 smaller burgers. If you choose 4, you will just be including 1 burger in a bun. If you choose 8, you could include 2 in each bun to build a double cheeseburger.
  • Once you’ve decided, divide the meat mixture into 4 or 8. Roll each section into a ball.
  • On the baking tray, flatten the burgers down into patties and Place the baking tray on the middle shelf of the oven.
  • Cook for 25 minutes, flipping the burgers after 10 minutes.
  • While the burgers are cooking, make your BBQ sauce by adding all the ingredients to a small saucepan.
    Mix well, then allow the sauce to simmer on a low heat, stirring regularly.
  • Wash the lettuce and Tear off as many lettuce leaves as you need.
  • 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time, add the burger buns to the oven to toast. Place a slice of cheese on each of the burgers (or on 4 of them if you are cooking 8).
  • When the melty, cheesy burgers are cooked, dress them in a toasted bun on a bed of lettuce and tomato. Drizzle with your delicious barbecue sauce and enjoy!
