Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 medium white onions, divided
500 g ground beef, extra lean
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons tomato sauce (ketchup)
1 tablespoon parsley, fresh, finely chopped
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
4 slices cheddar cheese or 4 slices swiss cheese
4 eggs (for frying)
4 hamburger buns
mayonnaise, to taste
romaine lettuce, for 4
1 medium tomatoes, sliced
canned beets, sliced
5 -6 slices bacon
tomato sauce, to taste (ketchup)

Steps:

  • Finely chop 1 onion and place it in a bowl with the beef, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, parsley, egg and sea salt.
  • Mix well to combine.
  • Shape the mixture into four large patties; place on a plate; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, slice the remaining onion into rings and fry in 1 tablespoon oil over a medium-low heat.
  • Cook for 15 minutes or until light golden and tender; set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large, heavy-based frying pan.
  • Once the oil is swirling in the pan, add two beef patties.
  • Fry for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until browned.
  • Place a piece of cheese on each patty while they're still in the fry-pan. Let the cheese melt a little; remove the patties using a spatula.
  • Place them on a plate and loosely cover in foil to keep warm.
  • Repeat cooking process with the remaining patties.
  • Discard most of the oil from the pan and fry the eggs to desired doneness.
  • Meanwhile, preheat grill on high.
  • Place the hamburger buns, cut-side up, under preheated grill and toast for 30 seconds, each side, or until golden. You may have to do this in batches, depending on the size of your grill.
  • Finally assemble the hamburgers by spreading on mayonnaise on the bottom bun, followed by lettuce, a patty and cheese, tomato slices, beetroot slices, a fried egg, bacon, fried onions and finally, a squirt of tomato sauce.
  • Cover with the hamburger bun tops.
  • Serve immediately.
