Serves 4
For The Patties
- 1 lb / 500g ground beef (how to grind your own meat)
- A little pepper (fresh ground is better)
- A little salt
- 1 handful fresh bread crumbs
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 quarter beef bouillon/stock cube dissolved in 2 to 3 tablespoons water
For on top of the Patties
- 4 thickish slices of Montery Jack or Gouda cheese, to be placed on top of the patties when they are about 3/4 done, allowing the cheese to start melting
For the Rolls
- 4 rolls
- 4 thick slices of onion
- Sliced tomato
- Lettuce
- Mayonnaise
- Mustard
Method
Mix all the patty ingredients thoroughly, leaving the salt for after the patties are cooked if you prefer (how to season meat) . Make sure the mixture is cool. Divide mixture into 4 equal balls and mould into patties (how to mold patties) .
Cook the patties and onion slices on medium heat under the grill, on the barbecue or in a pan (how to regulate cooking temperature) . When the patties are about 3/4 done place a slice of cheese on top of each to allow it to start melting. Cook until the onion is soft and the patty is cooked to your preferred degree of doneness, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F / 70°C (when is my patty cooked?) .
Split the rolls and toast the cut surfaces lightly (under the grill, on the barbecue or in a pan) just before the patties are done. Spread mayonnaise mixed with a little mustard on the bottom half of the roll, add a slice of lettuce, a slice of tomato and the grilled onion. Top with the cheesy patty and the other half of the roll.
Bon Appétit!
