How to build the perfect burger

[Charleybarley]

You will need:

For the burger:
Extra lean mince beef
1 Onion chopped finely
1 garlic chopped finely
1 tapPaprika
1 tsp All Purpose Seasoning
1 tspOregano
1 tsp Chilli powder
Salt

Mix together. I have a burger press and it is the best thing ever! If you don't have one you will need an egg to bind the pattie.

I make a load fresh and then freeze them.

So for the build you will need:

Wholemeal bun
Low fat cheese - sliced thinly with a potato peeler
Lettuce leaves
1 onion - sliced in rings
2 bacon rashers fat removed
1 tbsp lighter than light mayo
1 tbsp of ketchup

Slice the bun and add the lettuce leaves and mayo:



Add a thin layer of cheese to balance the lettuce for the build!




Fry your onion rings until golden. Push the frying pan to the side and add the bacon until cooked. Push that aside too, add the burger and cook to your preference. Put the remaining cheese slices on the burger and finish under the grill.

Add the burger



And the bacon



Add the fried onions



And the ketchup



Et voila - the perfect Bacon Double Cheese Burger for HEB, HEA, and 1.5 syns:

Ooh, I don't know, I don't usually DO meat on a green day - let me think.... ok well I used 500g EL mince, and got four big burgers from it, so thats 125g of pure meat in the burger. 100g of EL mince on green is 6 1/2 syns so I would guess 8 syns for the burger and the 1.5 for the sauce. Its a pretty pricey dish for a green day.

Thanks I'm between green day and extra easy. So I'm guessing this would be free on extra easy day xxx

On green day could you not use mince and bread to count as your HEB then just SYN sauce?

With the exception of the sauce used, yes, its totally free.
