-
To make the sauce, combine all
the ingredients in a bowl with a little seasoning.
-
Heat a large non-stick frying
pan over a medium heat and brush the cut sides of the buns
liberally with melted butter. Toast in the hot pan until
really golden and toasted.
-
Turn the heat to high.
When the pan is really hot, season the mince and form into
four balls, then push two into the frying pan, squashing
to flatten. Sprinkle over some salt again and cook for 2
minutes until really crisp, then flip, sprinkle over some
salt and repeat. Lay a sheet of cheese onto each and cover
with a lid for 30 seconds until melted. Move onto a plate
and repeat with the remaining patties and cheese slices .
-
Spread some of the sauce onto
the bases of the buns, then top with the cheese patties.
Top with lots of pickles, then spread the tops liberally
with the sauce and put on top to serve.
