CLASSIC BACON AND CHEESEBURGER

Steps:

• Fry the onion in a large frying pan in a splash of olive oil until golden brown. Add the garlic and fry for another 30 seconds then remove from the heat. Allow to cool to room temperature.
• Mix the cooled onions with the beef, parsley, breadcrumbs, egg, salt and pepper. To test the seasoning, fry a teaspoon-full of the mixture in the pan you cooked the onions in. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
• Divide the mixture into 5-6 (depending on how you big you want the patties), and form patties with wet hands.
• Place on a tray lined with baking paper and place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
• When the patties have rested, heat a large cast iron pan/griddle pan until hot then cook the burgers until charred and cooked to your preference. (You can also cook the burgers on a braai/barbecue.)
• Remove from the heat, top with the cheese and cover with foil for 2 minutes.
• Top the buns with a generous spoonful of mayo, lettuce, tomato, the patty with cheese and finally bacon.
• Serve immediately.

BACON, ONION AND CHEESE STUFFED BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium.
• In a bowl combine beef, garlic, hot sauce, salt and pepper, to taste, being careful not to over mix. Warm a skillet over medium heat and fry bacon until crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Keep heat on skillet and fry a pinch of the beef in the bacon fat to test seasoning. Adjust seasoning, if needed, then form 8 even thin patties, about 1/2-inch thick and set aside. Saute onions in bacon fat in skillet until tender, 5 minutes. Place onions and bacon in a bowl with cheese. Form a spoonful of bacon-cheese mixture into a ball, then place in the center of 4 patties. Top each with another patty and seal the edges. Grill burgers over medium-high heat, flipping once until desired doneness is reached, approximately 4 minutes each side for medium. Serve in buns with garnishes. Alternative: In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, sear the burgers 4 minutes on each side.

FRIED ONION BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250˚ F. Mix the beef with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl, then form into 8 balls.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 of the beef balls and slightly flatten with a metal spatula. Place a handful of the sliced onions on each patty (you'll use about a quarter of the onions for 2 patties - it will seem like a lot!) and flatten the beef into 1/4-inch-thick patties, pressing the onions into each burger. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip the burgers along with the onions and cook until the onions are browned and tender, about 2 more minutes. Flip the burgers again, along with the onions, and top each with a slice of cheese. Cover and continue cooking until the cheese melts, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until serving.
• Repeat with the remaining beef and onions to make 8 burgers total, adding more vegetable oil to the skillet if needed. Serve 2 burgers on each bun with ketchup, mustard and/or pickles.
