Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. • Thinly slice brown onion and tomato.
Little cooks: Don your goggles and have a go at peeling off the onion’s outer layer!
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook onion, stirring regularly, until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and a splash of water. Mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. • Transfer to a small bowl.
• In a large bowl, combine Aussie spice blend, fine breadcrumbs (see ingredients), the egg, salt, beef mince and a pinch of pepper. • Shape mixture into evenly sized patties (one per person), slightly larger than the burger buns. Transfer to a plate.
TIP: Make a shallow indent in the centre of each patty to help prevent it from puffing up as it cooks.
Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine and shape the patty mixture! Make sure to wash your hands well afterwards.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook beef patties until almost cooked through, 4-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
• Transfer beef patties to a lined oven tray. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. • Bake until patties are cooked through and cheese is melted, 3-4 minutes. • Meanwhile, halve bake-at-home burger buns and bake directly on a wire oven rack until heated through, 2-3 minutes. • In a medium bowl, combine mixed salad leaves (reserve a handful for the burgers!) and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste.
Little cooks: Help sprinkle the cheese over the patties (be careful, the patties are hot!).
• Spread each burger bun with mayonnaise. • Top with a cheesy beef patty, some caramelised onion, tomato slices and remaining salad leaves. • Serve with green salad. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Take the lead and help build the burgers!
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The seasoned beef patties and caramelised onions are a clear highlight, with many calling these burgers better than takeaway. Some found the patties a little bland and felt a sauce beyond plain mayonnaise would lift the overall flavour.
- Ease of prep: Most found this a quick and easy mid-week meal, and it proved popular with kids and teenagers helping in the kitchen. A few noted the caramelised onions took longer than stated, and some patties needed extra cooking time to cook through.
- Suggestions: Adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or BBQ sauce to the patty mix boosted flavour for some cooks. Others recommended toasting the buns in a frying pan, mixing cheese directly into the patty mixture, making two thinner patties for more even cooking, or using apple cider vinegar as a substitute for balsamic vinegar in the onions. A fried egg, beetroot, avocado, bacon, or pickles were popular additions.
- Leftovers: A few customers enjoyed leftover burgers the next day and found them just as tasty reheated.
- Portions: Some felt the meal was not quite filling enough for hungrier adults, with several suggesting a side of chips or wedges would make it more satisfying. A few noted the salad leaves were used both in the burger and as the side, leaving little for a proper salad on the plate.
