Beef burgers filled with cheese and guacamole


Make your own burgers at home! Perfect for when you are having some friends over for dinner. The guacamole gives a wonderful creamy and tasty topping. You can even add some crispy bacon for some extra smokey and crunchy flavour!

Ingredients:

  • 500 g beef mince
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp mixed dry herbs
  • salt and pepper
  • 40 g - 60 g cheddar or gouda cheese
  • oil

Guacamole: 

  • 2 ripe avocado's
  • 1/2 onion, very finely chopped
  • 1-2 chillis, stems and seeds removed, minced
  • 2 tbsp origanum, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 salt
  • black pepper
  • 1/2 ripe tomato. seeds and pulp removed, chopped

Place the mince into a bowl and stir it loose with a fork. Add the soy sauce, herbs, salt and black pepper. Mix the ingredients together well and portion it out into 4-6
(depending on how big you want your burgers). Cut the cheese into 4-6 blocks. Form each of the portions into a ball and then half it and press both halves a bit flat. Put the cheese onto the flat pressed mince and then add the other flat pressed mince on top, then form a patty with the mince and cover so that the cheese does not stick out. Now your burger patty is ready to be cooked either in the oven for 7 minutes on each side in about 180C on a grill pan or putting it on a grill on the barbecue! 

Guacamole: Cut the avocado's in half and remove the seed. Scoop out the avo from the shell and place it in a mixing bowl. Using a fork mash the avo, then add the chopped onion, origanum, lemon, salt and pepper and mash it some more. Add the chili the guacamole to how hot you want it. Add the chopped tomatoes to the mix just before the patties are ready.  Serve some salad, chips, wedges or veggies with the burgers. And there you go! A delicious Saturday night meal that you have made yourself ;)
