The classic burger gets a smoky twist.

Ingredients

• 1 tblsp olive oil

4 slices Red Leicester cheese

1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce

½ cup bread and butter pickles

1 small onion, thinly sliced

4 seeded hamburger buns, halved, grilled

Mild American mustard, tomato sauce and French fries, to serve

Patties

500g beef mince

½ cup dried packaged breadcrumbs

1 egg, lightly beaten

⅔ cup smoky barbecue sauce

Method

To make patties, combine beef, breadcrumbs, egg and half of the sauce in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Divide into four portions. Shape into 10cm round patties. Brush both sides with remaining sauce.

Heat oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Add patties. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked. Place cheese slices on top.

Cover pan with lid. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Remove.

Divide lettuce, patties, pickles and onion evenly among bases of buns. Drizzle with mustard and tomato sauce. Replace tops. Serve with fries.
