3. Gold Nugget Burger
If you like your burgers on the rare side, buy ground beef from a high-quality source. You may also use ground beef with higher fat content.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef sirloin or chuck (10% fat; see notes)
- About 1/2 teaspoon salt
- About 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
- 8 slices (2 in. by 1 in. and 1/4 in. thick) cheddar cheese
- 1 red onion (about 8 oz.), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 4 Kaiser, onion, or crusty round rolls (4 in. wide), split
- Sweet-and-Spicy Sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded iceberg lettuce (4 oz.)
- 1 firm-ripe tomato (about 8 oz.), cored and thinly sliced
- Guacamole
Method
- In a bowl, gently mix ground beef, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Divide the meat mixture into eight equal portions and shape each into a 4-inch round. Top each of four rounds with 2 slices of cheese. Lay another patty on top of each and press the edges together to seal.
- Lay burgers and onion slices on an oiled barbecue grill over a solid bed of hot coals or high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds); close the lid on a gas grill. Cook burgers, turning once until browned on both sides and done to your liking (cut to test), about 7 minutes total for medium-rare. Cook onions, also turning once, until browned on both sides, 7 to 8 minutes total. Remove from grill.
- Lay buns, cut side down, on the grill and cook until lightly toasted, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Spread Sweet-and-Spicy Sauce on bun bottoms. Add lettuce, tomato, burger, onion, and Guacamole. Set bun tops in place. Serve with remaining Guacamole, sauce, and salt and pepper to add to taste.

4. Molten Cheese-Stuffed Burgers
Take burgers to the next level by stuffing them with cheddar and mozzarella for a gooey centre, and topping them with a dollop of herby burger sauce.
Ingredients
- 1½ tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, very finely chopped
- 70g smoked pancetta, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 4 thyme sprigs, leaves picked
- 500g lean beef mince (no more than 10% fat)
- 50g fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 egg yolk
- 60g mature cheddar, grated
- 60g grated mozzarella
For the Herby burger sauce
- 120g mayonnaise
- 2½ tsp English mustard
- ½ small bunch of parsley, finely chopped
- ½ small bunch of basil
- 50g baby gherkins, finely chopped
Method
STEP 1
Over medium heat, heat the oil and fry the onion with a good pinch of salt for 15 minutes until translucent. Pancetta should be added after 5 minutes, then garlic and thyme should be added after 2 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove from the heat and let cool.
STEP 2
Tip the mince into a large bowl. Massage the meat for 5 minutes with your hands, then add the cooled onion mixture, the breadcrumbs, and the egg yolk. Season generously. Divide evenly into four, weighing for accuracy, if you like. Cheese and mozzarella should be mixed together. Shape the beef into patties by patting each into a 10cm circle.
In your hands, divide the cheese mixture into four portions, then form each portion into a disc about 4cm in diameter. Working one at a time, put a cheese disc into the centre of a beef patty, then bring the meat around the cheese to cover. Flatten slightly with your palm, then chill, covered, for at least 30 minutes or up to 48 hours.
STEP 3
The sauce is made by whizzing mayonnaise, mustard, and herbs together in a food processor. Stir through the gherkins, then cover and chill until ready to use.
STEP 4
Light the barbecue. When the flames have died down, grill the burgers on each side for 4-5 mins until charred (if you don’t have a barbecue, see tip, below). Wrap individually in foil and leave on the barbecue for 5-7 mins so the cheese centre melts.
STEP 5
Grill the buns, cut-side down, for 1-2 mins until toasted. Spread all the cut sides with the sauce, then fill with the beef patties, lettuce, tomatoes and crispy onions.
5. Cajun Chicken Burgers
Grilled Cajun-spiced chicken breasts are loaded with bacon, avocado, cheese and spinach, then served in a ciabatta bun… set to become a Friday night favourite.
Ingredients
- 4 skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 rashers smoked bacon
- 2 avocados
- 4 ciabatta rolls, split
- 4 thin slices of your favourite cheese
- 4 small handfuls of baby spinach leaves
- mayonnaise, to serve (optional)
For the cajun seasoning
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 1 tbsp paprika
Method
STEP 1
Mix the seasoning ingredients together with a good grinding of black pepper and a sprinkling of salt, then set aside in a large dish. Heat grill to high. On a board, flatten out the chicken slightly, then drizzle half the oil over and toss in the seasoning until completely coated. Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan, sizzle the chicken for 5 mins on each side until firm, push to one side of the pan, then fry the bacon for a few mins until cooked.
STEP 2
While the chicken is cooking, halve, stone, peel and slice the avocados, and toast the cut sides of the buns. Cover the tops of the buns with cheese, then grill until melted.
STEP 3
To assemble the burgers, spread the buns with mayonnaise if you want, top with a handful of spinach, then a rasher of bacon. To keep the avocado in place, slice the chicken, then alternate between a slice of chicken and avocado. Top with the bun, press down lightly and serve.
