INGREDIENTS Serves 2
For the burgers
2 tsp vegetable oil, for frying
salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the dope sauce
4 tbsp mayonnaise
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
For the bacon
4 slices smoked steaky bacon
1 tsp soft brown sugar
2 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp treacle
To assemble
2 slices mild cheddar
50g/1¾oz blue cheese, grated
2 seeded brioche buns, split and toasted
2 dill pickles, sliced lengthways
½ small red onion, sliced
French fries, to serve
METHOD
1. To make the dope sauce, mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.
2. Heat a little oil over a medium-high heat in a non-stick frying pan. Add the bacon slices and cook for a minute or two on either side until starting to crisp. Add the sugar, maple syrup and treacle to the pan, reduce the heat and allow to caramelise, turning the bacon slices in the syrup to coat for 1–2 minutes. Remove from the heat and reserve any syrup leftover in the pan.
3. To cook the burgers, heat a griddle pan over a medium-high heat. Once hot, brush with a little oil and add the burgers. Cook for around 5–6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
4. Top each burger with a slice of cheddar, some blue cheese and 2 slices of bacon. Add a little water to the griddle pan and cover with a closh or lid. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the cheese has melted.
5. To assemble, arrange the burgers and bacon on the bottom halves of the buns. Top with the sliced pickle and onion. Drizzle with the dope sauce and any reserved syrup. Top with other halves of the buns and serve with fries.
