These Kiwis have taken their sauce game to the next level and your burger deserves to be drizzzled in it!

Ingredients

To Serve

4 Tbsp burger sauce

Eggs

1 pack eggs (4 pack)
1 drizzle of oil

Buns

1 pack burger buns, cut in half

Filling

1 lettuce, leaves separated
1 pack baby beetroot, sliced
2 tomato, thinly sliced

Patties

500g lean beef mince
100g minced bacon
1/2 tsp salt
90g cheese, sliced
1 drizzle of oil

Steps

Preheat oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan bake).
In a large bowl, combine beef and bacon with salt and season with pepper. Divide into 4 balls, then flatten into 1cm-thick burger patties. Prep cheese and set aside.
Heat oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook patties for about 4 minutes each side or until just cooked through. Remove from pan and top with sliced cheese. Set aside covered to rest and reserve pan.
Prep lettuce, beetroot and tomato and set aside separately.
Prep buns and wrap in foil. Bake in oven for about 5 minutes or until heated through.
Heat oil in reserved fry-pan on medium-high heat. Crack eggs into pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, until golden underneath. Season with salt, cover pan with a lid and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, or until eggs are cooked to your liking.
Buns filled with patties, eggs, lettuce, beetroot, tomato and burger sauce. Serve any remaining fillings on the side.
