Recipe details
Ingredients
For the patties
- 500g (or 1/2 a pound) 12% fat beef mince
- 1 handful salted crackers, crushed
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsps Worcester sauce
- 1 egg
For the burgers
- 4 Brioche burger buns
- 8 rashers smoked back bacon
- 4 tbsps chilli jam
- 4 tbsps crunchy peanut butter
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients for the patty together with your hands in a large mixing bowl, until well incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into 4 and shape into balls, then flatten with the palm of your hand into a patty shape, before pressing the back of a tablespoon into the top of the patty.
- Heat a large griddle pan until hot, then add the burgers and cook for 4 minutes on each side before wrapping in foil to keep warm.
- Add the bacon rashers to the griddle and cook for 2 minutes on each side until crispy.
- Slice the Brioche buns in half and toast under a grill until lightly browned.
- Place a slice of Cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cook under the grill for 1 minute until the cheese has melted.
- Spread 1 tbsp of chilli jam onto the bottom half of each Brioche bun.
- Add the patties to the Brioche bin, then spoon 1 tbsp of the peanut butter in top of the cheese, before pressing down the lid of the Brioche bun.
Tips
- I used ritz crackers in my recipe, but any type of salted crackers should work to hold the juices in the patty.
- Make this burger your own! You don't have to use Cheddar cheese, choose whatever burger cheese you like. And if you prefer smooth peanut butter to crunchy, go for it!
- These patties can be made in advance and frozen for use at a later date. Just be sure to defrost them fully before cooking.
