Smash burgers with burger sauce
About £0.98 a plate if you bought it all. Less with what you've already got.
The app checks what's already in your fridge, prices it at your shop and runs the timers for you.
You'll need
- Beef mince500g
- Burger buns4
- Cheddar80g
- Gherkins60g
- Mayonnaise60g
- Ketchup30g
- Little gem lettuce1
Salt, pepper and oil from the cupboard. Amounts are for four; the app scales them for you.
Method
- Mix the mayo, ketchup (30g) and a few chopped gherkins (60g) for burger sauce.
- Roll the mince (500g) into 8 balls. Get a heavy pan smoking hot.
Kitchen note Brown mince in batches in a hot pan and leave it alone for a minute or two so it actually browns. Too much at once and it just goes grey and steams.
- Put two balls in, squash them flat with a spatula, season and cook hard (2 min). Flip, add cheese (80g) (1 min).
Kitchen note Grate cheese yourself if you can. Bagged grated cheese is coated so it doesn't stick, which means it doesn't melt as nicely.
- Stack two patties per toasted bun with sauce, lettuce (1) and gherkins.
Kitchen note Toast the bread properly, golden, not pale. It holds up better under anything wet.
Can't find something? Doesn't matter. Swap it for something similar, it'll still be delish.
