Calories: 464kcal
Cost: £1.39
Ingredients
- 250 g beef mince (5% fat) (£2.70/2)
- 4 slices of american cheese (£0.60)
- 75 g mozzarella, grated (£2.50/4)
- 4 slices of thick white bread (£0.75/4)
Cupboard Essentials
- 4 tsp american mustard
- 2 tbsp mayo
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Form two patties out of the beef mince and season with salt and pepper.
- Place a cast iron pan or frying pan, over a high heat and allow it to preheat for a minute.
- Press each patty to a thickness of about 2cm. Fry for 4 minutes on each side, adding the american cheese for the final two minutes of fry time.
- Remove both patties from the pan, then add a thin layer of mayo on to each slice of bread.
- Place two pieces of bread, mayo-side down, back into the pan over a medium/low heat, then add a layer of mozzarella, the cheesy burger patty, a drizzle of mustard, and the other piece of bread, with the mayo facing outwards.
- Fry each side for 2 minutes, or until nicely grilled and melted. Serve immediately & enjoy! Optionally top with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Adjust Cooking Time: Thicker patties require longer cooking; use a meat thermometer to check for doneness, aiming for 160°F (71°C) for well-done or slightly lower for medium.
- Season Generously: Season the beef mince or patties well with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
- Use a Cast Iron Pan: A cast iron pan provides better heat distribution, ensuring even cooking of the patties.
