Inspired by some internet posts pointed out to me by my pal Jasmin I put this beast together. It got messy! To make just one 12 ounce burger you need:
Shopping:
Burger mince or two 6oz. patties
Streaky bacon
Grated mozzarella
Pickled peppers and jalapenos.
BBQ sauce
Seeded bun.
Method:
Lay clingfilm on your board and create a star of bacon using four rashers. Put two patties, or 12 ounces of seasoned burger mince together and form them around a tin can or other object, 3 and a half inches wide, put the burger cup centrally on the bacon star:
Twist and pull the can out :
Half fill the cup with packed-down grated mozzarella:
Put some drained pickled peppers and jalapenos on top:
Top off with more grated cheese:
Pull the meat up over to make the pattie rounder, top with a dab of BBQ sauce, and bring the bacon ends up to the middle, securing them together with a cocktail stick:
Wrap the burger up with the clingfilm and refrigerate to set the meat stiff:
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, at 190 Deg. C, or gas Mark 5, checking that the middle cheese has melted. You can do it in a BBQ with a lid, over ‘indirect heat’, i.e: not directly above the heat source.
This burger is MESSY to eat! Wrap it in a foil nappy!
