A homemade Bacon Deluxe-style burger with flame-grilled beef, crisp bacon and cheese

Ingredients

Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Easy.

  • 300 g beef mince (80/20)
  • 4 rashers eye bacon (short-cut, rind removed)
  • 2 sesame-seed buns
  • 2 slices American cheese
  • 4 iceberg lettuce leaves
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • ¼ white onion, sliced into rings
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • Salt and cracked pepper

Method

  1. Form 2 wide, thin patties and season. Grill over high heat (barbecue if you have one) 3–4 minutes per side.
  2. Fry the bacon in the same pan until crisp at the edges, then drain. Add the cheese to the patties for the final minute.
  3. Toast the sesame buns.
  4. Set the cooked bacon on paper towel so it stays crisp while the buns toast.
  5. Build: mayonnaise on the crown, lettuce, tomato and onion; patty, bacon, then the base. Tip: cook the bacon until properly crisp — soft bacon disappears inside a Deluxe — and use eye bacon, not streaky, for the thick, meaty bite Hungry Jack’s describes.
