How to Make It
Step 1
Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over a medium/low heat. Slice the onion and add to the pan with the balsamic vinegar. Fry gently until golden and caramelised, turning occasionally – about 10 minutes. Reserve to one side.
Step 2
While the onions are cooking, add the bacon to a dry pan over a medium heat and cook until crisp – about 5 minutes. Reserve to one side.
Step 3
Add the ground beef, onion powder and garlic powder to a mixing bowl. Season generously.
Step 4
Use your hands to combine the beef and seasonings well and form them into two large patties Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large frypan over medium/high heat and add the patties. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until the meat is well browned and completely cooked through.
Step 5
While the burgers are cooking, preheat the grill to medium. Brush the remaining olive oil over the mushrooms on both sides. Place under the grill top side down, for five minutes until cooked and tender.
Step 6
Remove the hot patties from the pan and layer with sliced blue cheese.
Step 7
To assemble the burgers, use one mushroom as the base of each burger. Layer with a slice of iceberg lettuce and then add the strips of bacon. Add the pattie with the melted cheese and then a layer of onion. Top with another mushroom.
