Cheeseburger (Updated - v2)


 

Something quick... certainly also available as Hamburger

Preparation time approx. 35-40 minutes

Preparation

You'll need:

  • Food processor with suitable hook for the minced meat

Ingredients (for 4 Cheeseburgers)

  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 500-600 g of minced meat (from beef)
  • Just under 1 tsp. salt, some pepper
  • 4 tsp. Worcester sauce
  • 4 tsp. soy sauce
  • 2 to 3 small tomatoes
  • 1-2 gherkins
  • A small onion
  • Some iceberg lettuce
  • 8 slices of cheese (e.g. KRAFT Toast)
  • mayo, ketchup, mustard
  • If you like, Tabasco sauce (a MUST for me) and/or bacon or you could also fry a few onion rings in the pan.

Preparation

Put the minced meat in a bowl. Add just under 1 tsp. salt and a little pepper, as well as 4 tsp. Worcester sauce and soy sauce each. Then knead well with a K-hook for about 5 minutes.
In the meantime, cut the tomatoes and gherkins into thin slices, slice the onion into rings and shred the iceberg lettuce leaves a little.

With 4 burgers for 2 people I do this in two shifts:
Melt a tablespoon of butter in a frying pan and shape the minced meat into two flat slices - these should be much larger in diameter than the buns as they will contract during frying. Fry them well until they darken. Just before the end, place two slices of cheese on top and cover the pan with a lid.
Put the hamburger buns briefly in the preheated oven.
Fry the meat for another 1 or 2 minutes until the cheese begins to melt. Then take it out of the pan and park it on a paper towel to remove some of the fat.

Then simply put everything together, arrange with ketchup, mayo, mustard, one or two leaves of iceberg lettuce, one or two slices of tomato, one or two onion rings and half a gherkin (cut into thin slices) - that's it.
I also always spice it vigorously with Tabasco sauce.
