- Be careful not to overcook the patties or they will dry out – they should only just be cooked through. To be absolutely sure use a meat thermometer; when the internal temperature reaches 75°C, they are ready.
- Ensure your patties are bigger than the diameter of your buns as they will shrink quite a bit during cooking.
- Barbecuing meat adds a lovely smokey flavour.
- You can use 1/2 cup of dried breadcrumbs soaked in milk in place of the bread if you prefer.
- You don’t have to stick to Cheddar for burgers – try using something a little different like camembert, Gruyère or fried haloumi. Blue cheese is a perfect match with beef – I highly suggest you give it a go.
- As an alternative, you could use tortillas to wrap up all the fillings.
- Grating the onion helps smaller patties cook through quicker.

Patties
Preheat the oven to grill. Place all the patty ingredients in a bowl, season and combine. Shape into 4-5 patties, cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Preheat a BBQ or frying pan to a medium heat. Brush the patties with a little oil and cook for a few minutes until crunchy and brown on one side. Turn the patties over, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for another 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Transfer the patties to a roasting dish or oven tray and lay a slice or two of cheese on top of each one. Cook under the grill for a minute or so until the cheese starts to melt over the patties.Secret sauce
