Top tonight’s perfectly seasoned beef patties with melty Cheddar and sticky caramelised onion... and you’ll be sitting down to a dish that’s a contender for the ‘Best Burger Ever’.
We’ve replaced the tomato in this recipe with cucumber due to local ingredient availability, as a result of the recent heavy rainfall. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

• 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 the 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!
