Smoked Cheddar Beef Burger & Bacon Jam

While the fries are baking, thinly slice the brown onion. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the onion, diced bacon and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 4-6 minutes. Add the water, white wine vinegar and brown sugar. Stir to combine and cook until reduced, 1 minute. Add the caramelised onion chutney and stir to combine. Transfer to a small bowl.

While the bacon is cooking, finely chop the garlic. Grate the smoked Cheddar cheese. Thinly slice the tomato. In a large bowl, add the beef mince, garlic, wholegrain mustard, garlic & herb seasoning, egg and fine breadcrumbs. Shape the beef mixture into evenly sized patties slightly larger than a burger

Wipe out the frying pan and return to a mediumhigh heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the beef patties until just cooked through, 4-5 minutes each side. In the last 1-2 minutes of cook time, sprinkle the smoked Cheddar cheese over the patties and cover with a lid or foil so the cheese melts.

While the patties are cooking, place the bake-athome burger buns on a wire rack in the oven until heated through, 3 minutes.
