Instructions
Step 1
Fry the onion in a large frying pan in a splash of olive oil until golden brown. Add the garlic and fry for another 30 seconds then remove from the heat. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Step 2
Mix the cooled onions with the beef, parsley, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder and smoked paprika. To test the seasoning, fry a teaspoon-full of the mixture in the pan you cooked the onions in. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 5-6 (depending on how you big you want the patties), and form patties with wet hands.
Step 4
Place on a tray lined with baking paper and place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
Step 5
When the patties have rested, heat a large cast iron pan/griddle pan until hot then cook the burgers until charred and cooked to your preference. (You can also cook the burgers on a braai/barbecue.)
Step 6
Remove from the heat, top with the cheese and cover with foil for two minutes.
Step 7
Top the buns with a generous spoonful of mayo, lettuce, tomato, the patty with cheese and finally bacon.
Step 8
Serve immediately.
