Ingredients

  • 500g of Beef Mince - Divided Into 8 Patties
  • 100g of Brie Cheese
  • 4 Slices of Streaky Bacon
  • 1 Red Onion - Thinly Sliced
  • 1 tbsp of Honey
  • 4 tsps of Mayonnaise (Or Aldi Baconnaise if you can get it)
  • 4 Burger Buns
  • 4 tsps of Cranberry Sauce
  • 1 tsp of Smoked Paprika
  • Pepper
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt

Method

  1. Season mince with salt and pepper, divide into 8 patties and flatten them out with your hand into large, thin patties. Put them in a pile and set aside.
  2. Candy the bacon by cutting the 4 slices in half and drizzling them with the honey. Season with black pepper and put under the grill for 20 mins until crispy.
  3. Prepare your burger buns by frying the bases of them in butter until golden and crispy. Remove them from the pan and add a teaspoon of baconnaise to the bottom of each one (if you can’t get this, add 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika to your mayo before adding to buns).
  4. Thinly slice your onion and fry it in a little oil until soft.
  5. Thinly slice your brie into 16-18 pieces.
  6. Heat up some oil in a pan and fry your first 4 burgers for 1 minute on each side, add them to the buns and top with 2 slices of brie. Then do the second lot, add them on top and top with 2 more slices of brie. Add 2 pieces of candied bacon then some fried onions.
  7. Top with cranberry sauce and serve.
