Ingredients:

  • 250g ground beef (80/20) fat ratio
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 tbsp Mrs. Balls Sweet Chilli Sauce
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 2 brioche or sesame seed buns

How To Make Sweet Chilli Holiday Burger

  1. Start by preparing the Sweet Chilli glaze by combining Mrs. Balls Sweet Chilli Sauce, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and chili flakes (if using) in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Stir the ingredients together and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly, then remove from heat.
  3. For the patties, mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl, then form the mixture into two equal-sized patties, making them slightly larger than the buns as they will shrink while cooking.
  4. Heat a pan or grill over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
  5. In the last minute of cooking, brush both sides of the patties generously with the Sweet Chilli glaze, then top with cheese and cover the pan for a minute to melt the cheese.
  6. While the patties cook, butter the cut sides of the buns and toast them in a pan until golden brown.
  7. To assemble the burger, spread mayonnaise on the toasted buns, layer arugula on the bottom bun, then add the Sweet Chilli-glazed patty with melted cheese.
  8. Top with thinly sliced red onion and a little extra Sweet Chilli Sauce, if desired, then close the burger with the top bun and serve.
