Homemade Big Burger

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a homemade Big Burger? Prepare the products. I cooked a burger with a ready-made bun, but you can bake them yourself. Minced meat is suitable from any meat, I have beef, you can take chicken, pork, lamb, if you cook a chickpea cutlet, you will get a vegetarian burger. It's the same with vegetables — take any salad, tomatoes, peppers, herbs to taste. You can take any cheese, but it's better to choose the one that melts well.

2. Step 2:

   

   Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to the minced meat, you don't need to add anything else, especially onions. With it, you will not get a burger, but a cutlet in dough. Knead well and form a flat cake with a diameter slightly larger than the bun itself. When frying, the cutlet is significantly reduced.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the frying pan on the fire, heat the oil in it over high heat. Lay out the cutlet.

4. Step 4:

   

   Fry the cutlet for 6-8 minutes, constantly turning, for a minute on each side. It should be well blushed.

5. Step 5:

   

   At the last turning, put the cheese on the meat and cover the pan with a lid. Wait for the cheese to melt. I already took the melted cheese for cheeseburgers, so it took me quite a bit of time. If the cheese is hard, it will take more time.

6. Step 6:

   

   Cut the bun in half. You can do this while your meat is frying.

8. Step 7:

   

   In a preheated frying pan without oil, lightly fry the loaf with the cut side. I did it on a grill pan, but you can do it on a regular one. The main thing is not to add oil.

9. Step 8:

   

   Cut onion and cucumbers into rings. Onions can also be simply cut into cubes, this is not critical.

10. Step 9:

    

    Assemble the burger. Spread the bottom bun with mustard, the top with sauce. Sauces can be varied, both tomato and cream.

11. Step 10:

    

    Put the cutlet.

12. Step 11:

    

    Put onions and cucumbers on the meat.

13. Step 12:

    

    Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately. To make the burger fall apart when serving, you can fasten it with special skewers. Enjoy your meal!
