1–2 tbsp chilli-spiced honey sauce (prepared as below)
1 leaf butter lettuce (washed and separated)
2 slices tomato
A few thinly sliced onion rings
1–2 tbsp mayonnaise
1–2 tbsp mild smoky BBQ sauce
Chilli-spiced honey sauce
250 ml honey
25 g fresh chilli, finely diced (about 1 large chili)
Juice of half a lemon
Method
Prepare the Chili-Spiced Honey Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the honey, fresh chili and the lemon juice. Bring to a light simmer for 4–5 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse and the mixture to thicken. Allow the sauce to cool before using.
Cook the Bacon and Beef Patty: Cook the bacon rashers until crispy. In a separate pan or on a grill, cook the beef patty. After flipping the patty, top it with the cheese slice so it melts during the final stage of cooking.
Toast the Bun: Lightly toast the Tip Top Milk Style Burger Bun (top and bottom).
Assemble the Burger: Spread a thin layer of the BBQ sauce on the bottom bun, then add the bacon. Place the beef patty with melted cheese on top and spoon the chili-spiced honey sauce liberally, allowing it to flow to the edges. Add the tomato slices, a leaf of butter lettuce, and a few onion rings. Finally, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the top bun and close the burger. Serve immediately.
