Cooking Steps
- Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).
- Pop the chips onto a lined baking tray.
- Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
- Cook on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
NOTE: Adding bacon? Add to the baking tray alongside the chips for the final 10-15 mins of cooking. Place on the burger patty to serve.
- Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Place a medium pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the onion and season with salt and pepper.
- Fry until soft and sweet, stirring occasionally, 4-6 mins.
- Meanwhile, quarter the apple, remove the core and seeds and coarsely grate.
- Once the onion is softened, add half a sachet of curry powder (per 2P) and cook for 1 min more.
- Pop in 150ml water (per 2P), 1 ½ tbsp sugar (per 2P), ¼ tsp salt (per 2P), the balsamic glaze and two-thirds of the grated apple.
- Cover and cook for another 6-8 mins, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water if required.
- While the chutney cooks, combine the beef mince with the remaining grated apple and the breadcrumbs in a large bowl. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
- Season with salt and pepper and mix everything together by hand.
- Roll into evenly-sized balls, then shape into 1cm thick burgers, one per person.
- Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the burgers until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-14 mins.
- Carefully turn every 3-4 mins, adjusting the heat if necessary. IMPORTANT: Burgers are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Once cooked, remove pan from heat and divide the cheese between burgers. Cover and set aside until the cheese is melted, 3-4 mins.
- Pop the buns into the oven to warm, 2-3 mins.
- To assemble the burgers, spread a spoonful of mayo and ketchup over each base bun.
- Top with the beef burger and apple onion chutney.
- Sandwich closed with the top bun.
- Serve with chips alongside.
