Yield 1 burger
Of the four burgers that appeared in the Great Tastes of America menu that McDonalds did, this was our easy favourite - not least because a bagel always cheers the soul, doesn't it? The proper version comes in after over 30 syns, so this is a big old saving!
Ingredients
- 1x New York Bakery Co. Bagel Thins, Seeded (1x HeA)
- 200g 5% beef mince
- 20g reduced-fat cheddar (½x HeA)
- 2 slices of bacon, fat removed
- few slices of gherkins
- handful of lettuce leaves
- 1 tbsp extra-light mayonnaise (1 syn)
- 1 tbsp tomato sauce (1 syn)
Instructions
- make the burgers (see notes)
- cook the burgers (see notes) and bacon
- meanwhile, slice the bun
- spread the tomato sauce on the top half of the bagel half
- top the bottom half of the bagel with a slice of cheese, two burgers, bacon, gherkins, mayonnaise, lettuce leaves and other slice of cheese
- top with the other bagel half
- eat!
Notes
- a burger press will make easy work of the burgers but if you haven't got one just roll the mince into a ball and flatten into a burger shape
- you can cook the burgers however you please - we used our Tefal Optigrill on the 'burger' setting but you could use a frying pan over a high heat (spray in a little oil first), under a high grill, on a George Foreman or even on a barbecue. It's up to you!
- don't forget - you get both mince and bacon in our fantastic Muscle Food deals!
- there's no need for egg or any binders in this - the mince will hold just fine as long as you spend a few minutes giving it a good squeeze and a mix first
