5 steps
- 1
Divide the beef mince into 4 equal portions and gently form into patties – don't overwork it, or they'll be tough. Season well with salt and pepper.
- 2
Heat a little oil in a heavy-based frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on how you like them cooked. Add the bacon to the pan for the last few minutes of cooking.
- 3
While the burgers are cooking, make the sauce by combining all the ingredients in a bowl.
- 4
Toast the brioche buns until golden, then spread with a little sauce.
- 5
Assemble the burgers by layering the lettuce, tomato, pickle, burger, bacon, cheddar and onion on the bottom bun. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
